The Consumer Protection Program, an integral part of the Community Partnerships Alliance, serves three important purposes:

1. To educate individuals, businesses and organizations about the growing identity theft crisis and its’ current and likely impact on our unstable economy.
2. To make individuals and organizations aware of the protection programs that are available for those that wish to safeguard themselves.
3. To provide consumers with an on-line directory of businesses and organizations who are taking the identity theft crisis seriously, and who are proactively taking extra steps to protect the personal information of their customers and employees. (Look for the Businesses & Organizations with the Red Star. )
   

The Alliance feels strongly that part of improving the economic situation of our members and the community in general must include reducing the losses that individuals and organizations are currently experiencing due to identity thieves.!

At this point, identity theft is no longer preventable, largely due to the number of databases our information resides in, and the number of times a day that information gets bought and sold into new databases.  Our goals include:

1. Helping businesses and organizations to reduce the likelihood of a data breach by training the individuals involved in their organizations, and by helping them to strengthen their technology security.

2. Reducing the damages after an incident, helping our members restore their lives and their companies as quickly as possible.

3. Helping all businesses and organizations to make sure they are taking as many steps as possible to protect the personal information of their customers, their employees, their volunteers and their donors.
