If you are the victim of identity theft, remember that no matter how frustrating the situation becomes, there is hope.

Stalking

  • Stalking is a serious crime that is not taken lightly by the UM Police Department. The following guidelines are intended to help you protect yourself, but are not a substitute for police involvement. You should report stalking to the police so they can assist you and attempt to arrest the stalker.
