It’s hard to believe that 2026 marks the 20th year of our Shred-a-thons; a tradition that has not only set a Guinness World Record, but has become a cornerstone event for community safety and engagement across metro Denver. Since launching these events, we’ve hosted over 100 Shred-a-thons, raising more than $1 million to help reward tipsters whose information keeps our communities safe.
