(The Passing Of Forged Documents)

The Prince George's County’s Financial Crimes Unit will investigate a forged or uttered check if the incident occurred within the county. In the case of a forgery or uttered check you must complete the following:

1. File an incident report with the Prince George's County Police Department by calling (301)333-4000. Ask for the Telephone Reporting Unit and you will be able to file your initial report over the telephone.
2. Make an appointment with the Financial Crimes Unit by either calling (301)772-4237 or emailing pgpdfinancialcrimes@co.pg.md.us.
3. Contact the bank where the account is held and request a copy of the actual check owner’s affidavit of forgery.

The investigation will be on the behalf of whoever has suffered the financial loss (either the bank/credit union/victim).
