ABC Action News is Taking Action for You and Your Safety with Operation Shredding.

Keeping people safe is a top priority. Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States.
It’s important for consumers to recognize that identity theft is not just a financial crime. It can include criminal identity theft, governmental identity theft and medical identity theft. Destroying your personal information is crucial to preventing identity theft from happening to you!
