Identity Theft

Identity theft is one of the fasting growing crimes in America. Identity theft involves an individual using your personal information, such as birth date and social security number in order to impersonate you and commit a crime.

The Ocean Shores Police Department actively investigates these crimes and has provided you with several links in order to provide more information on the topic. The Washington Attorney General's Office provides valuable information, as does the Federal Trade Commission. If you should have specific questions or would like to have a copy of the Ocean Shores Police Department's Identity Theft pamphlet, please contact Lt. Russ Fitts by Email at rfitts@osgov.com or call (360) 289-3331.
