Combat Identity Theft

Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America.[i] In fact, in a recent two-year period, nearly 12 million Americans were victims of identity theft. Oftentimes victims of identity theft do not realize they are victims until they are notified by a debt collector — and that’s when the real nightmare begins.

That’s why VSI is leading the charge in our state to educate citizens on the growing dangers of identity theft, and inform you on what you can do to protect yourself and your family members from identity thieves.

As you know, Virginia Sheriffs are the only law enforcement officials elected by the people of Virginia, and with the support of citizens like you, Virginia Sheriffs and Deputies are fighting identity theft and nabbing the perpetrators. If you suspect you may be a victim of identity theft, file a police report, cancel your credit cards, and immediately notify your financial institutions. Please download below a free electronic copy of VSI’s report on how to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft where you’ll find specific information for Virginia residents.
