STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Richmond County District Attorney Michael E. McMahon and state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton will host a safe document shredding event on Sunday, May 18, as part of an effort to help residents protect their identity and personal finances.

The free event will be held at Temple Israel Reform Congregation, located at 315 Forest Ave., Randall Manor, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. It is open to the public.

Attendees are advised to bring any documents containing sensitive or personal information they would like to dispose of safely.

“While we continue to see scammers targeting the hard-earned savings of our fellow Staten Island residents, protecting your personal information has never been more important,” McMahon said.
