ERA TEAMS UP WITH ABBOTSFORD POLICE SERVICE FOR FRAUD PREVENTION MONTH

ABBOTSFORD, HOW DO YOU ENSURE YOUR SENSITIVE DATA IS ERASED BEFORE DISPOSING OF YOUR UNWANTED ELECTRONICS?

We are partnering with the Abbotsford Police Department Thursday, March 22nd, 2018 for Fraud Prevention Month. The ERA will be shredding hard drives, phones, tapes and other small devices holding sensitive data from the Police department and the public. We intend on educating the public on how important it is to dispose of their unwanted and old electronics correctly so that the data doesn’t find itself in another person’s possession. This will be a day to educate and supply answers to all of the publics fraud-related questions.

We will be bringing a portable hard drive shredder to allow the public to shred their personal devices, free of charge.
