SALT Councils are a community outreach program of the Brevard County TRIAD, a partnership between the State Attorney’s Office, Local Law Enforcement and the Sheriff’s Office.

The SALT Council helps the local departments connect with and develop a relationship with the seniors in their cities and towns.

It is a better way for the community to assist its seniors trying to age in place in a safe and secure manner. Weekly checks help identify any issues or needs that are being overlooked.
