State agency offers elder abuse training for Texas law officers

Jim Drew reports:


AUSTIN – The state agency in charge of regulating nursing homes wants to provide annual training to law enforcement officers on how to investigate elder abuse allegations, including those at state veterans' homes.

Officers need to have a "clear picture" of what agency officials do in responding to complaints of abuse and neglect and training in how to work together in those investigations, Chris Traylor, commissioner of the Department of Aging and Disability Services, told a Senate committee Wednesday.
