They serve as our front line of defense and the public is safer because of the job they do.” – Ken Salazar, former Secretary of the Interior identity-theft As the rate of technological advancements continue to grow rapidly, so does the threat of identity theft and identity fraud. In 2013, 13.1 million people were victims of identity fraud, according to Javelin Strategy & Research as reported by CNN.
