Police to conduct identity theft seminar

Staff report CNHI The Times Enterprise Mon Oct 22, 2012, 05:35 PM EDT

THOMASVILLE — Thomasville Police Department will conduct an identity theft seminar from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday.

The event will be at the Thomasville Municipal Auditorium.

Lt. Steve Belvin, police criminal investigations commander, said the following topics will be discussed:

• How to assess your risk of identity theft

• How to adjust behaviors to protect yourself from becoming a victim of identity theft

• How to clear your name should you become a victim

“We want to inform our citizens on what to look for and how to report any suspicious activity,” said Lt. Eric Hampton, police public information officer. “Many people do not think about this activity. However, it is very easy to have their identity stolen in various ways.”

A lot of damage can be done before activity is detected by victims, officers said.

Hampton said the community is encouraged to attend the seminar and hear about “this important topic.”
