Over 16,000 Pounds of Paper Shredded in October!
485 members of the community took steps to protect their identity
Goleta, California – October 28, 2009: In the first week of October, Community West Bank in partnership with local law enforcement and ShredRite, helped 485 community members from Santa Maria to Westlake Village shred 16,061 pounds of paper as part of their annual Identity Theft Protection and Shredding event. Thousands of personal and business documents such as bank statements, tax forms, and old checks were safely and securely destroyed on site using high-volume; truck-mounted shredders provided by ShredRite.
Additionally, local law enforcement officers from the Santa Maria Police Department, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department, and the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office provided valuable identity theft and fraud protection information.
“Since beginning this community event in 2005, Community West Bank and its partners have shredded over 70,000 pounds of personal documents,” stated Lynda Nahra, Community West Bank President & CEO. “Safely shredding personal papers is an important first step all of us should take to protect ourselves from identity theft and fraud.”
Community West Bank has an identity theft prevention video available on their website for the community to learn other important ways to protect themselves. View the video at www.communitywestbank.com and click on the Education Center “click & learn” button found on the home page.
