I certainly can't speak to what happens in smaller communities. I'm sure that in the next sessions that particular question will be addressed. But what I encourage people to do when I get those types of questions is to look for an officer who knows about elder abuse, who knows about frauds and scams; and if they don't, people should keep looking and not accept the first person who says, “I'm sorry, I don't know about this.” There are community officers and crime prevention officers. There are officers who might not have the title or designation but who are in fact interested in this particular issue and will take that extra step to give that person the necessary support and help they need. That's what I recommend people do: just keep looking and asking and find that right person in their particular community and in their particular police service.
