This program will present information on various topics, such as how to spot a fraud on the telephone or at your doorstep, popular scams, online scam/Internet risk prevention, protecting personal information, safe meeting places, securing your home, street safety tips and more.

Residents of all ages are welcome to attend and will benefit from the learning experience. Being armed with this knowledge is a great to add another layer of protection to your lifestyle, Holly Springs police said.
