APD Crime Prevention Unit Seeks Feedback on Proposed Dog Walker Watch Program

The Albuquerque Police Department’s (APD) Crime Prevention Unit is considering starting a Dog Walker Watch Program and seeks feedback from residents on this suggested idea. Dog Walker Watch is a crime prevention and awareness program, similar to Neighborhood Watch, that encourages neighbors out walking their dogs to be extra “eyes and ears” for law enforcement. Dog owners and walkers are trained on how to effectively observe and report suspicious behavior, while enhancing the partnership between the police and community. For more information on this proposed initiative, contact Laura Kuehn at: lkuehn@cabq.gov.

Identity Theft Awareness Week

The Federal Trade Commission reminds us that Identity Theft Awareness Week starts today, January 27. If you or someone you know has had their personal information used to open accounts, if you’ve had your tax refund stolen, or if someone has filed a fake health insurance claim in your name, that’s identity theft. It can happen to anyone, but simple steps can help lessen the chance it will happen to you.

The FTC will host free podcasts, webinars, Facebook Live interviews, and other events focused on avoiding and recovering from identity theft and spotting scams. There is information geared toward all walks of life, including military servicemembers, senior citizens, young adults, and business owners.
