Identity theft is a growing problem nationwide, and shredding of old documents is just one of the ways people can protect themselves. Learn all about identity theft through the courtesy of the US Postal Service. It can happen to anyone and it is preventable.

The actual shredding was done by ProShred a nationwide company serving both individuals and businesses. Crime Watch Volunteers were on hand to assist people in transporting there documents to the shredder.  As is standard at most crime watch events, crime prevention information and membership information were available to the people. Crime Watch's Annual Raffle also kicked off with tickets available from now through Community Days at which time the drawing will be held.

Amity Township Crime Watch, Inc. organized and sponsored this event, and many of you who brought documents for shredding made a contribution.  Their generosity helped offset the cost of this event (our payment to ProShred).  It is Crime Watch's hope to repeat this event and perhaps introduce other programs which will help in preventing crime in our community.  Please send your suggestions to our President.  All monies raised throughout the year are used locally for crime prevention!
