Crime Safety Tips

Have you ever been a victim of Identity Theft and not know who to contact? The steps provided below will assist you in mitigating this growing trend. First and foremost, if you feel as though you have been a victim of identity theft, contact your local police department.


Here are a few prevention tips:

  • Never list your personal information such as your full name, date of birth, social security number, or driver's license on personal checks.
  • Always check your credit card statements to make sure the transactions belong to you.
  • Shred all documents containing your account numbers or other identifying information.
  • When using your debit card, make sure to only allow the last 4 digits of your debit card to appear on your receipts. If the entire debit card is exposed, simply black out all the numbers other that the last four digits.
  • Contact your credit bureau reporting agency and have a freeze placed on your credit. This will prevent new credit account from being created without your express consent.
