THE West Vancouver Police Department is hoping you'll take some time this month to investigate how to not get your identity stolen.
Officers with WVPD's community services unit are holding a number of talks at local high schools and public places to mark Identity Theft Prevention Month. The outreach is scheduled to coincide with the Hollywood movie Identity Thief, a buddy comedy starting Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.
To get first-hand advice from police on how to avoid being victimized, visit the Gleneagles Recreation Centre on Wednesday, March 13 from 9 to 11: 30 a.m.; Park Royal Shopping Centre's north mall, Friday, March 15 from 11: 30 a.m. to 2: 30 p.m; West Vancouver Memorial Library on Wednesday, March 20 from noon until 3 p.m., Park Royal south on Friday, March 22 from 11: 30 a.m. to 2: 30 p.m. or the West Vancouver Seniors' Activity Centre on Thursday March 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
