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.
