The Ohio Attorney General’s Office is committed to protecting older Ohioans who are being exploited or harmed. The AG’s Elder Justice Unit helps to protect older adults throughout the state and enhance older victims' access to vital criminal justice services.
The Elder Justice Unit was launched in 2014 to bolster the investigation and prosecution of elder abuse cases and to improve positive outcomes for older Ohioans. The unit is a collaborative effort among the Crime Victim Services, Consumer Protection, Health Care Fraud, and Special Prosecutions sections and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). The team helps local communities with investigations, forensic analysis, case presentation and prosecution, outreach, trainings and technical assistance.
The goal of the Elder Justice Unit is to connect victims and those with concerns relating to suspected elder abuse and/or crimes with local and state agencies that may be able to provide resources or guidance to the victims and their families or take steps to prevent future acts of abuse.
