Board proclaims June 17 as Placer Protect Day, honors 10 years of elder-abuse task force
Summary
The Placer County Board of Supervisors proclaimed June 17, 2026 as Placer Protect Day and lauded a decade of coordinated elder-abuse prevention, outreach and victim-support work led by the District Attorney's office and partner agencies.
Placer County officials on June 2 formally proclaimed June 17, 2026, as Placer Protect Day and recognized 10 years of the county's multidisciplinary elder-abuse task force.
Morgan Geier, Placer County District Attorney, introduced the day and noted Placer Protect's collaborative composition, which includes the DA's office, adult protective services, law enforcement, victim advocates, health-care providers, probation and community organizations. Geier said the program measures success not only by cases investigated but by lives protected and education that helps seniors avoid scams and exploitation.
Shannon Quigley, the newly promoted supervising deputy district attorney and one of the Protect leaders recognized by the DA, thanked partners and described the team's focus on outreach, education and victim support. Geier and others asked residents to save the county's senior resources fair on Sept. 24 at Maidu, which brings providers together to share services and information.
The board voted to adopt the proclamation unanimously and posed for a brief recognition photo with Placer Protect team members.
Supervisors praised Placer Protect as a model for elder protection and emphasized the need to expand outreach as the county's senior population grows.
