CARSON CITY, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — The
Nevada Attorney General's office has released a resource guide for law
enforcement across the state when it comes to investigating cases of
elder abuse, neglect or exploitation.
Attorney General
Adam Laxalt said in a statement the guide will help law enforcement
recognize signs of elder abuse and help the elderly get services they
need.
Laxalt's
office applied for and received a federal grant for enhanced training
and services. Three resources teams have also been formed to look into
issues, including a team for Washoe County and rural Nevada communities.
Grant dollars have also been earmarked for direct services
to elder victims of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, financial
exploitation and neglect.
To view the resource guide, visit the Attorney General website.

I will go review the guide, and I hope to be wrong in thinking it won't cover guardianship abuse at all.
