Illinois Family Violence Coordinating Councils Title: Protocol for Law Enforcement: Responding to Victims of Elder Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Summary: In February 2006, in partnership with the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA), the Illinois Family Violence Coordinating Councils (IFVCC) convened a statewide Responding to Elder Abuse Committee. The purpose of the committee is to identify and develop resources to assist the courts, criminal justice systems and communities in responding to the needs of abused seniors. According to the Illinois Department on Aging, about 4 to 5 percent of senior citizens experience some kind of mistreatment and only about 1 in 13 cases of elder abuse are ever reported. Of the seniors abused, almost 35 percent were living with their abusers. Of the abusers, 40 percent were children of the victim. Due to the underreporting of elder abuse, the need for specialized training and the lack of resources for law enforcement, the committee determined the need for a law enforcement protocol.
