The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is partnering with CrimeStoppers, 9News and the Shred-it Inc. document shredding company to help prevent identity theft by holding an annual Shred-a-thon every year in May. In 2014, please join us on May 17th!

The Shred-a-thon is a fundraiser for the Denver metro area CrimeStoppers chapter. Voluntary donations for CrimeStoppers will be accepted at each site. The non-profit CrimeStoppers chapter supports local law enforcement agencies by offering anonymous cash rewards to individuals who can help solve crime.

In 2012 a world record-shattering total of $82,000 in cash was donated and 459,368 pounds of paper was shredded.

Documents will be shredded on-site, with officers present.
