The RIAC Police Department has dealt with several scams aimed at elderly travelers and residents. If you believe you or someone you know has been a victim, please contact the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Special Victims Unit for elder abuse, at https://riag.ri.gov/elder-abuse.
In 2020, the Rhode Island Police Chiefs’ Association (RIPCA) launched the Twenty for 2020 Campaign, a list of 20 promises to all Rhode Islanders from their police departments to redouble a statewide focus on training, transparency, communication and human rights. The Twenty for 2020 Campaign is a list of promises and commitments to open-book policies and procedures, better communication with the public, and further training on diversity, implicit biases, and procedural justice.
