The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office will partner with the “Shred It” company on Saturday, April 28, 2012 from 8:30 to 1:00 p.m. at the Sheriff’s West Annex located at 6233 Dayton Blvd. for the annual “Shred It” event.

This will provide a service to the residents of Hamilton County to safely destroy their important papers or medical documents and lower the possibility of becoming a victim of identity theft.

This is a service open to residents who can bring several boxes of papers to be destroyed but is not open to businesses.
