Sheriff’s Office hosts free shredding event Saturday
Residents who want to prevent identity theft can take advantage of a free Community Shredding Event from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office tomorrow.
The drive-through event will be from 8 a.m. to noon (or until the shredding truck fills up) Sept. 2 in the north parking lot of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, 1600 Route 291, Liberty, Mo. Residents are invited to bring up to five boxes of paper. The event is for personal shredding only, not businesses. Only paper will be accepted. Documents will be shredded on site.
Thieves and scammers can use information on personal and financial paperwork to steal money and identities.
“We investigate a growing number of identity theft cases, so we wanted to provide the community with an opportunity to securely dispose of documents that could have personally identifiable information on them,” Sheriff Will Akin said.
