Deputy Tara Hardin on The Rise & Thrive OSJ Radio Hour at 9:05am this Saturday, June 18th on The NEW 96.9FM FREEDOM Oklahoma’s Talk Radio 100,000 watt Station! We are still on the Dave Ramsey Network in our Market!

Deputy Hardin is Coordinating The TRIAD & S.A.L.T. Programs and S.A.L.T. stands for “Seniors and Law Enforcement Together” and

“TRIAD” is a tri-fold approach to crime prevention with seniors the “tri” being County Sheriff’s, local municipal police depts and seniors.

Teaching this crime prevention in 3 main ways:

1. Through S.A.L.T. meetings

2. Guest speaking/teaching

3. Participating in events

Our first question out of the shoot (no pun intended. Sorta 😁.png) on air is; What is TRIAD & S.A.L.T. and how can your community and business get involved?

IMG_9065-180x180.jpgDeputy Tara Hardin began her career with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s office in 2011 and became the TRIAD Coordinator in July 2021. Since that time, she has focused the program on crime prevention and specifically the increasing scams & frauds targeting seniors. She presents a new in-person lesson at 19 locations around Oklahoma County each month along with guest speaking/teaching by request, and participating in events for seniors. You can view her weekly “Senior Moments” crime prevention tips each Friday on the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Facebook page.

Facebook page where short “senior moments” safety tips are posted every Friday
