Lillian Jeter (Executive Director) was a law enforcement commander for almost 25 years in the United States. In 1985, Lillian uncovered a case of elder abuse and neglect that changed the community’s whole perspective on the mistreatment of the elderly.

On the 20th of February 2006 with her appearance on Lateline with Tony Jones and subsequently through various television, radio, and media, Lillian exposed the plight of vulnerable older persons being abused and mistreated in nursing homes throughout Australia Lillian is also a regular contributor on Charles Wooley’s Across Australia radio show about the abuse of older Australians.

For the past 21 years, Lillian has presented keynote addresses, delivered presentations and conducted workshops for professional audiences in aged care, policy, legal, and criminal justice around the world on the abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and exploitation of vulnerable older persons.

Not only did Lillian investigate cases of abuse in her capacity as a law enforcement officer but also was very influential in the development of policy, procedures, training guidelines, and interagency protocols. In 1986 she was a member of a multi-disciplinary team that met in Washington, DC to formulate and devise a template on elder abuse for the first time in the history of the United States to be delivered to all fifty states for law enforcement, adult protective services, legal entities, and aged care providers.

Her involvement with policy boards includes the International Chiefs of Police – Crimes Against the Elderly, Project Coordinator for the Police Executive Research Foundation on Domestic Violence, American Bar Association – Elder Abuse Committee, Police Executive Research Foundation – Crimes Against the Elderly Committee, Advisory Board Member for Family Services Inc. in family violence intervention and policy issues, and many more.

Lillian has also been instrumental in other policy implementation areas as well as accreditation as Deputy Director of the South Carolina Police Corps, Accreditation Manager for the Charleston Police Department, National Assessor for the Commission on Law Enforcement Accreditation, and Jail Administrator.

Due to Lillian’s busy schedule she would would prefer to be considered for larger events, i.e. the District Conference or perhaps several clubs getting together and needing a keynote speaker or speaker for the event.
