National Crime Prevention Council

Elder Abuse & Protection · New Jersey · Free

Tips and resources on preventing crime against seniors. McGruff the Crime Dog. Built for reporting suspected elder abuse, neglect, exploitation, or financial scams targeting older adults. Anonymous reporting is allowed but limits APS's ability to follow up — leaving contact info helps the investigation. Adult guardianship can be appointed by a court when capacity is gone; emergency guardianship is faster but temporary. Open at no cost to New Jersey seniors and the families supporting them.
