On October 12, 2011, the Support Staff Division of SCLA held its Annual Membership Meeting at the West Islip Public Library.  We were very fortunate to have Detective Tom Gabriele and Detective James Crayne from the Suffolk County Police Department Outreach Bureau present their Identity Theft seminar.  The morning was full of timely information on prevention and what to do if you become a victim of this pervasive crime.  The Detectives provided each attendee with a booklet containing all the information from their PowerPoint presentation. They also answered questions from the audience.  I, for one,  left with some great tips to make it more difficult for Identity Thieves to victimize my information.

The winner of the shredder was Linda Guteres from the Longwood Public Library.

SSD would like to thank Director Andrew Hamm and the West Islip Public Library staff for hosting this successful meeting!
