The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) is hosting a shred event at its headquarters on Saturday, October 16th.
The event is being held by Crime Stoppers of Halton, in partnership with Blue-Pencil Information Management, to raise funds to help combat identity theft and related fraud.
Shred your unwanted personal/business papers for a donation of your choice to Crime Stoppers. Residents and business owners can utilize Blue-Pencil’s secure mobile shredding trucks to ensure the safe and efficient destruction of personal and sensitive documents to help prevent identity theft and other financial fraud.
Executive Director of Crime Stoppers of Halton, Colin Jessome, calls it a win-win event.
“This is our tenth year offering this service and it we couldn’t do it without the support of the community, our volunteers and Blue Pencil’s mobile shredding service. It’s a win-win for residents as you clear out your old clutter while donating to a local organization that is focused on keeping Halton safe. Donations go towards school programs on crime prevention, drug awareness, older adults’ seminars regarding frauds and scams, and community housing presentations to name a few.”
All volunteers will be wearing P.P.E. and attendees can choose to stay in their vehicles as volunteers unload for them. Social distancing, safe practices and a healthy event is the main priority.
The event will take place on Saturday, October 16th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Halton Regional Police Headquarters, in the parking lot at 2485 North Service Road West, Oakville.
