OPD addressing elder abuse, scams
By E. DOUGLAS BEACH Special to the Star-Banner

Older Floridians living in the Marion County area would be wise to attend the elder safety workshops mentioned in a June 16 Star-Banner report.
The Ocala Police Department is providing a valuable public service by hosting these workshops on Wednesday, June 25, and Aug. 28. Community-based workshops focusing on elder abuse and exploitation awareness, as well as services that help victims, are a great way to protect local seniors.
(E. Douglas Beach is secretary of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs.)
OPD WORKSHOPS
The Ocala Police Department workshops on safety for senior citizens will be held 1:30-3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25, and again 1:30-3:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at OPD headquarters, 402 S. Pine Ave. in Ocala. For more information call OPD's victim advocates at 369-7139.
