CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2013 The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is teaming up with Queens University to help residents navigate the rising threat of cybercrime and digital tracking. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.<\/p>\n
The \u201cProtect You and Your Tech\u201d campaign connects crime victims, domestic violence survivors, and senior citizens with what\u2019s called a \u201cdigital navigator.\u201d That person can help you safely separate online accounts or secure devices that have been hacked. All you have to do is call 311.<\/p>\n
Bruce Clark with Queens University says, \u201cIf you\u2019re in danger or believe you\u2019re a victim of a crime, call 911. If you have a question about your phone, your accounts, or something just doesn\u2019t feel right, call 311, press any button and ask to speak with a digital navigator.\u201d<\/p>\n
Organizers are hosting a free in-person cybersecurity workshop on Tuesday, October 27th, at the Valerie C. Woodard Community Resource Center. You can sign up right now by calling 311.<\/p>\n
