Milton Township S.A.L.T. Council
SENIORS & LAW ENFORCEMENT TOGETHER (S.A.L.T)
The purpose of the Milton Township S.A.L.T. Council is to determine and meet the needs of senior citizens by reducing crime and abuse and enhancing safety through communication in cooperation with the Township, law enforcement, and other community agencies and organizations.
The S.A.L.T. Council meets every second Monday of the month at 10:00am at the Glen Ellyn Police Department (65 S. Park Blvd, Glen Ellyn).

The S.A.L.T. 2023 SENIOR AUTO INSPECTION
A special event offered by S.A.L.T. each year is the Senior’s Auto Inspection. This annual October event helps our seniors better prepare their cars for winter. This year 79 volunteers consisting of mechanics, High School youth service league, Boy Scouts, police officers, Milton Township Board members, SALT Council, local service representatives and others made this year a great success. Through the combined efforts of these volunteers, we were able to service a record of 118 cars! Tire pressures were checked and filled, engine fluids were checked and filled and all batteries were tested. Each senior received a 40 point inspection report!
