| Corruption / Abuse
of Power / Police Report Refusal |
| |
|
| |
Corruption and abuse of
power is perhaps the most evil of all crimes. When the
very people responsible for protecting or serving the
public become corrupted and victimize the very people
they serve, someone must stand up against them. SIA
is willing and capable of doing just that. If you know
of any incidents of corruption, or abuse of power, report
it now!
SIA is currently investigating under-reporting schemes
in which police departments are refusing to file police
reports when requested to do so. In addition, police
have been refusing to process an individual that has
been placed under arrest. If you have been the victim
of this scheme, please report it now!

| Signs of Nursing
Home Abuse |
| |
There are certain
warning signs that can indicate nursing home abuse has
and/or still is occurring. Some residents are hesitant
to disclose instances of nursing home abuse out of fear
that the abuse will get worse or because they do not want
to burden their families. Some residents may not even
be able to communicate that nursing home abuse is occurring
due to physical or mental limitations. If there are any
signs or indicators that nursing home abuse is present,
immediate action should be taken. |
