Plain-English Summary
The federal government would allow police departments and law enforcement agencies to use grant money they receive to create special task forces focused on protecting elderly people from abuse, fraud, and other crimes. These elder justice task forces would investigate crimes targeting seniors and help coordinate efforts between local police, prosecutors, and social services. The change would help communities dedicate more resources to protecting vulnerable older adults from exploitation and harm.
