Common Questions
- What is the CASE Partnership?Why would a law enforcement agency want faith community partners?What will we have to do as a CASE Partner?What will the Lee County Sheriff’s Office do for our community?Are there any costs to being a CASE Partner?How do I become a CASE partner or schedule a Power Against Fraud seminar?
CASE - Communities Against Senior Exploitation - is a unique and successful elder fraud prevention program that partners law enforcement agencies with the faith community. Through education and prevention, CASE works with faith-based communities to empower older adults, their families and caregivers, as well as clergy and community leaders to prevent fraud and financial exploitation.
Faith communities are successful partners because a significant number of older adults are active participants and receive much of their information and social support from their church, synagogue or temple. Older adults also have a high level of trust and respect for clerical authority. By providing ongoing programs in this environment, CASE uses the trust and compassion associated with faith communities to effectively educate and empower, protect and assist older adults.
