Crime Prevention Tip: Protect Yourself from Identity Theft

• The Colorado Bureau of Investigation recommends the following steps to prevent identity theft:
• Remove anything with your Social Security number from your wallet or purse
• Monitor your credit and bank accounts regularly
• Report lost or stolen credit/debit cards immediately
• Shred all documents containing personal information before disposal
• Never sign documents you haven’t read or don’t understand

All charges are accusations made by law enforcement, and suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
