The
State of California considers those persons age 65 and older
to be elders. Those persons between ages 18 and 64 who have
physical or mental limitations that restrict their ability
to carry out normal activities or to protect their rights,
are considered dependent adults.

The Sheriff's
Elder Abuse Unit is the centralized investigative unit responsible
for the investigation of crimes committed against elders and dependent
adults within the nine contract cities and unincorporated areas
of San Diego County served by the Sheriff's Department.
In conjunction
with Adult Protective Services and other community and advocacy
based organizations the Elder Abuse Unit is committed to the successful
prosecution of those committing crimes against elders and dependent
adults.
EDUCATION
IS THE BEST PREVENTION.
DON'T BE A TARGET.
