News Release

6/15/2026 - June 15th Is Elder Abuse Awareness Day (Photo) - 06/15/26

The Lane County Sheriff wants to highlight the importance of our duty to protect our vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse. Sadly, statistics show that as many as 1 in 10 people, aged 60 or older, experience some type of abuse.  There are many types of abuse, physical, emotional or financial exploitation, but all too often these crimes go unreported. 

 

We need to be aware of this widespread issue to make a change in our communities. If you suspect abuse, report it.   

  • If someone is in immediate danger call 911. 

  • You can report abuse confidentially statewide by calling 1-855-503-7233 

  • Locally Lane County Adult Protective services can be reached at 541-682-4140
