You can actively protect yourself from identity theft!
The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) is hosting a shred event fundraiser for Crime Stoppers of Halton, in partnership with Blue-Pencil Information Management, at their headquarters in Oakville. You might not realize this, but Crime Stoppers is actually a charitable organization that relies on donations to run properly. They only partner with police services and are not actively a part of any division.
Shred your unwanted personal/business papers for a donation of your choice to Crime Stoppers of Halton. Residents and business owners can utilize Blue-Pencil’s secure mobile shredding trucks to ensure the safe and efficient destruction of personal and sensitive documents to help prevent identity theft and other financial fraud.
The event will take place on Saturday, May 4th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Halton Regional Police Headquarters located at 2485 North Service Road West in Oakville.
