TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LifeLock, Inc. (www.lifelock.com), an industry leader in proactive identity theft protection, has been recognized as a 2010 Communitas Leadership Winner for Community Service & Corporate Social Responsibility for LifeLock and FBI-LEEDA’s Law Enforcement Identity Theft Summit program.

“We are extremely proud of our long track record of community involvement. Our employees are dedicated to giving back, whether by educating consumers and law enforcement on the growing crime of identity theft or giving of personal time.”

The Communitas Awards program is an international effort to recognize the spirit of communitas – people helping people. Communitas winners give of themselves and their resources, and are changing the way they do business to benefit their communities.

“This award helps to demonstrate an organization’s strong commitment to going above and beyond when it comes to their community,” said Todd Davis, LifeLock Chairman and CEO. “We are extremely proud of our long track record of community involvement. Our employees are dedicated to giving back, whether by educating consumers and law enforcement on the growing crime of identity theft or giving of personal time.”

As part of an ongoing nationwide series of free, interactive training sessions offered through a partnership between LifeLock and FBI-LEEDA, the training summits help to increase law enforcement’s knowledge of the crime of identity theft. Since its inception in October 2008, the training summits have reached 29 different cities across the country—from Orlando to Detroit to Los Angeles—with more than 2,700 law enforcement officials from more than 900 different agencies in attendance.

LifeLock has been recognized as an exceptional organization demonstrating excellence in community service and corporate social responsibility. Communitas nominees are evaluated based on the extent and effectiveness of their programs, and the size and potential scope of the nominee is also taken into consideration. Communitas winners are recognized for specific programs involving volunteerism and philanthropy, or ethical, sustainable business practices.

Communitas Awards are an outgrowth of the pro bono recognition program of the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP – www.amcpros.com), a several thousand member group that honors creative achievement and fosters partnerships with charities and community organizations.

“By recognizing individuals, organizations and companies for their volunteerism and socially responsible business practices, we are hoping to not only bring attention to great programs, but are working with community minded leaders to make the spirit of communitas an essential element of every business,” said Ed Dalheim, executive director of AMCP.
