Buckingham County TRIAD is an organization from the Virginia Attorney General’s Office and is under the umbrella of the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors. TRIAD focuses on educating the senior population about crimes that may target them. Its mission is to reduce crimes against seniors by empowering them with knowledge and information through communication between law enforcement and senior communities.
