THE MODEL PROJECT ON AGING IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE THE SAFETY OF THE OLDER AMERICAN'S ENVIRONMENT, IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ELDERLY AND POLICE, AND DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO REDUCE THE VULNERABILITY OF OLDER AMERICANS. AS PART OF THE PROJECT, A NATIONAL SURVEY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES DIRECTED TOWARD THE ELDERLY WAS UNDERTAKEN. SINCE THE NATIONAL SURVEY, AN INDIVIDUAL POLICE AGENCY SURVEY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ASSESS THE ATTITUDES AND PROBLEMS OF SENIOR CITIZENS AND THE IMPACT OF CRIME ON THEIR LIVES. DATA GAINED FROM THESE SURVEYS CAN BE USED TO PLAN CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THE IACP HAS ALSO PREPARED A DIRECTORY OF CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS, LISTING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, CRIME PREVENTION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND PROGRAMS UTILIZING SENIOR VOLUNTEERS. SUGGESTIONS FOR ESTABLISHING AND EVALUATING SENIOR CITIZEN CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS ON A LOCAL LEVEL ARE PROVIDED AS WELL. INCLUDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS A SAMPLE SURVEY INSTRUMENT, A LIST OF REGIONAL OFFICES OF THE ADMINISTRATION ON AGING, AND A DIRECTORY OF STATE AGENCIES ON AGING....DMC
