IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR THE AUGUST 10TH
ANNUAL SUMMER PICNIC MEETING

AT THE SAN DIEGO POLICE PISTOL RANGE

REA is proud to have GUEST SPEAKER District Attorney Paul Greenwood
Elder Abuse Unit, Family Protection Division speaking on Elder Abuse Prevention

Elder Abuse is largely a silent crime. Many victims fail to report out of fear of losing their independence.

Since 1996 Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood has spearheaded the efforts locally to combat this escalating problem. His message encompasses tips for seniors that can reduce the risk of becoming a victim, and information about how we can better detect and respond to this crime.

When "Googled" you'll find Paul has fought and won the battles of elder abuse hundreds of times in his career: Involved in the prosecution of over 400 felony cases of elder and dependent adult abuse, both physical and financial. * Assisted with drafting Elder Abuse legislation for California Evidence Code sections 1380 and 1109 * A presenter at the first International Conference of Elder Abuse held in Toronto, Canada in March, 1998 * Former member of Board of Directors for the International Network for Prevention of Elder Abuse *San Diego DA’s Elder Abuse Prosecution Unit was awarded the California State Association of Counties’ Challenge Award for innovation and creativity in 1998 * Awarded the 2005 “Visionary for Change” Award in October 2005 at the Dementia Care Conference, San Diego. * Awarded special recognition in 2008 by San Diego County Bar Association for “commitment to civility and integrity”. * Awarded the Edwin H. Sutherland award in 2009 for outstanding service to the public and the anti-fraud profession
