July 14, 2009, Canton, MI – Canton’s Police Department and Leisure Services have teamed together to provide Senior Watch—an online information service for senior citizens.

Similar to the police department’s Silent Partner Alert System which provides timely updates on information going on in the community, Senior Watch will provide timely information relevant to the safety of our senior community.

"Through our Senior Safety Coalition meetings, we realized there was enough interest and information out there to warrant a service like this specific to senior citizens," said Community Relations Sergeant Mark Gajeski. "Email messages may include anything from current scams being pulled on seniors in our area, to legal updates on topics of interest to our more mature population," Gajeski added.

Senior citizens and their family members can sign up for this free service by calling the Canton Senior Desk at 394-5485, or by sending an email to Sgt. Mark Gajeski at mgajeski@canton-mi.org.  Email addresses will not be used for any other purpose, and can be removed from the list at any time.

For more information on the service contact Sgt. Gajeski at 394-5424.
