Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America; millions are victimized each year through no fault of their own. In recognition of this problem, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has partnered with Arizona Verified Destruction (AVID) to host several “Shred-A-Thons.” The goal of these events is to promote identity theft awareness and education. These events are held throughout the year at different locations in Pima County.
The public is encouraged to participate, FREE OF CHARGE, by bringing their old personal documents and papers to be shredded. By shredding old documents, you can reduce the possibility of thieves stealing and assuming your identity.
The Shred-A-Thon is scheduled for this Saturday, February 25, 2012, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The event will be held in the parking lot of the Marana High School located at 12,000 West Emigh Road. This Saturday’s Shred-A-Thon will be a drive-through shredding service. An attendant will go to your car and transfer all your documents to a bin for shredding.
If you have any questions, please contact the Community Resources Unit at (520) 351-4615.
