IACP and Bank of America Team Up to Battle ID Crimes

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and Bank of America have recently teamed up by creating a new website, www.idsafety.org, designed to help consumers and law enforcement combat identity crime.

The website offers residents information on What are ID crimes. How to protect themselves. Determining whether they've been a victim and if so, what they should do next.

There is also information for law enforcement agencies concerning prevention, victim assistance, and the investigation of ID crimes.

While ID crimes are among the fastest growing crimes in this nation, they are also some of the most preventable.  Individuals are encouraged to educate themselves about this growing trend in crime to reduce and eliminate their chances of becoming a victim.
