Colorado Bureau of Investigation Reporting

24-Hour Toll-Free Hotline: 855-443-3489

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation has launched Colorado's first and only 24-hour toll-free hotline for victims of identity theft and fraud. The hotline connects to crime victim specialists, and they convey case information to CBI's identity theft victim advocate, Fraud Unit supervisor or other investigators in the Fraud Unit.

While identity theft and fraud victims should file crime reports with local law enforcement agencies, CBI's unit provides investigative and victim assistance to anyone seeking guidance in improving personal financial security, dealing with compromised information and general questions regarding ID theft.
