TEMPE, AZ – August 27, 2007 – LifeLock CEO Todd Davis announced today a partnership with Chicago Patrolmen’s Federal Credit Union for employees, members and their families to protect their identities. As the preferred identity theft prevention service for the CPFCU, LifeLock, the nation’s first identity theft prevention company, will offer a significant savings to employees and members of CPFCU to guarantee their good name.
“We are extremely excited to partner with Chicago Patrolmen’s Credit Union to share the many identity theft prevention options that exist, including preventative services provided by LifeLock,” said Davis. “This partnership gives us the opportunity to protect the men and women protecting us each day … police officers. We work with many other law enforcement agencies around the U.S., but this will be our largest partnership to date. We are thrilled to be able to help them bring this issue into the spotlight while also providing an affordable prevention tool.”
CPFCU employees, members and their families will have peace of mind knowing that LifeLock is working on their behalf, protecting their identities from thieves. As the nation’s leader in identity theft prevention, LifeLock enables “locks” by setting and automatically renewing fraud alerts with the three major credit bureaus, removing member names from pre-approved credit card offers and junk mail lists and guaranteeing the service with a $1 million guarantee.
In February, the Federal Trade Commission released its annual report highlighting that for the seventh consecutive year, identity theft tops the list of consumer complaints. The Chicago metropolitan area has been hit with at least six data breaches effecting more than 2 million people, including 1.3 through the Chicago Election Board and 300,000 through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
“Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America. With our members’ knowledge of crime, it’s essential for us to bring this type of value added service to them. By affiliating with LifeLock, we have protected our members so they can protect us”, said Scott Arney, CEO of Chicago Patrolmen’s Federal Credit Union.
