“Triumph Bank is proud to partner with CRA Partners and Senior Crimestoppers because of their dedication to the safety and security for senior citizens in our Memphis community. Elder Abuse is a major problem in America today, and providing lockboxes to every resident in the two locations we have adopted is the first step in providing this to them. We look forward to growing our relationship with these residents in the future,” stated William Chase, Jr., President and CEO of Triumph Bank.
“Senior Crimestoppers is a way for an administrator to further enhance the lives of the residents they serve. They all work very hard to provide safe, secure, comfortable living environments and their desire to implement the program is just one more example of this. Implementing this program does not mean that the facility currently has a crime problem, but that the administrator is proactively finding a way to keep problems from occurring in the future,” said Terry Rooker, president of Senior Crimestoppers.
“We are extremely grateful to Senior Crimestoppers and CRA Partners for allowing us to participate in this very important and worthwhile cause”, stated Richard M. Sanborn, President & Chief Executive Officer of Seacoast Commerce Bank.
