todayFebruary 8, 2018

The Fond du Lac Police Department is one of seven law enforcement agencies in northeast Wisconsin to participate in a pilot program to prevent elderly and disabled patient abuse.  Assistant police chief Steve Klein says the Safe Seniors Camera  Program allows residents who  suspect a care giver is abusing their loved one to use a covert  camera to provide surveillance in their residence.  Fond du lac County Social Services director, Pat Lancor, says she thinks it’s a good program,  To report suspected abuse you may contact your county elder adult at-risk agency or call 1-800-488-3780.  If you witness an act of abuse, neglect or exploitation that requires immediate attention dial  911.
