Your Identity Theft Report number is If you believe that you are a victim of identity theft, there are a number of important steps for you to follow. Be prepared to document all unauthorized transactions and to be patient—in some cases the process can take a number of months. The first step in the process is to contact the Midland Police Department. A uniformed officer will meet with you and supply you with an Identity Theft Report number and any necessary forms to assist you in investigating your complaint. If you have Internet access, the officer will direct you to the appropriate forms to fill out online. Following this initial meeting with the police department, complete the necessary forms indicated by the police officer, making sure to document everything you do. When you have completed the forms and compiled the relevant documents, please call the Midland Detective Bureau at [PHONE REDACTED]. You may also call that number if you have any questions when filling out the forms. When you call, we will arrange an interview for you with an investigator to determine if any further criminal investigation is possible. Please contact the Detective Bureau within ten days of receiving the necessary forms to ensure quick action on your report. Regardless of the criminal investigation, the forms you fill out will allow you to end the fraudulent use of your ID, and will help clear up any other possible credit fraud. We take this crime very seriously, and we will do all that we can to assist you. It is important that you follow the instructions, and make every effort to complete the necessary forms. Sincerely, Det. Caryn Weiland Midland Police Department
