“By offering this free service we are empowering our residents to protect their personal information and reduce the risk of identity theft,” said Anthony Jasenski, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature. “This small investment in our community can give residents piece of mind and confidence at a time when identity theft is on the rise.”

Date: Saturday, May 20, 2023

Time: 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
