• Keeping Communities Safe

  At Cash America, our goal is to train our employees to look for suspicious activity and recognize stolen property, then reward them for keeping it out of our shops. Our Insight Award program, created in 2005, honors our team members who demonstrate these activities. We are committed to working closely with local law enforcement in the fight against crime, and have taken our commitment and dedication a step further by supporting and sponsoring many National Night Out events to help citizens, civic groups, businesses and neighborhoods combat crime and drug abuse.

• Operation ID

  Cash America developed a complimentary property identification kit called Operation ID. This kit is available in all of our pawnshops and is designed so you can record important property information, store receipts and keep photos of your belongings. Having complete and accurate descriptions of your property is great resource to have in the event your property is stolen. The kit also outlines how to work with local law enforcement agencies if you are the victim of a property crime.

• LeadsOnline

  In December 2002, Cash America began reporting transactions electronically via LeadsOnline, a national third-party system used for criminal investigations. Through the program, law enforcement investigators are able to search one centralized, national database of transactions at the touch of a finger, saving investigators considerable time when compared to the traditional process of sorting through stacks of paper tickets by hand.

  
  

  Cash America was the first major company to make transactions available to law enforcement on a national basis. Since that time, hundreds of cities and counties have implemented the program in an effort to eliminate many of the costly steps and inefficiencies traditionally involved with property crime investigations.
