Trusted Resource to Prevent ID Theft in Southern CA: Shredding: 6 questions to ask

You know how I’m continually nagging you about shredding your documents….whether I am giving an in-service, or talking to friends. Guess what! I have a resource that you’re going to love. In fact, it’s someone I use myself and here’s why – as a private investigator and I keep files as long as required by law, when I get ready to dispose of them, I need guaranteed destruction and security. When I review my own health records or explanation of benefits or the bills and utility charges,  or  catalogs I receive, I want to make sure no one else is privy to my personal information!!

So these are the questions to ask your shredding organization:

1. Do you do a complete background check on all your employees?

2. Do you video tape all shredding areas in company?

3. Are all personnel fingerprinted and run through the DOJ (Dept. of Justice) data base?

4. Are the employees knowledgeable  in security and or  law enforcement?

5. Do they specialize in cross cut technology vs. tear and grind which is cheaper?

6. What is their liability coverage?

In my opinion, a minimum of 1mil/2mil is mandatory

Therefore I recommend 2shred here in Southern California…check their website:
