Adopt a proclamation which designates March 4-10, 2018, as "Consumer Protection Week" in Shasta County. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Consumer Protection Week is a time for the District Attorney's Office to engage the community and educate consumers about rights and resources available related to fraud. Many Shasta County citizens fall victim to fraud every year. The Shasta County District Attorney's Office works to investigate many types of fraud including Consumer Fraud, Real Estate Fraud, Insurance Fraud, Welfare Fraud, and In Home Support Services (IHSS) Fraud. The Board of Supervisor's proclamation will recognize Consumer Fraud as a serious community awareness issue and support the need for prevention and education efforts in Shasta County. |

The alternative is not approving the proclamation in which case the District Attorney's Office would not include the proclamation in the activities planned for Consumer Protection Week. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
The County Administrative Office has reviewed the recommendation. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
