I still have to fill out this form and sign it so the investigators can do their thing. The bank returned the money in 10 days so i am happy with that. But still ther is that whole process with the investigation and I hope they find the person. How does this process work. Also, I obviously reported this to the bank fraud department but i wasn't aware that I had to report it to the police. Will that present a problem. This occured in a different state...do I call their police??? Help.

You really should ask the bank. If they didn't tell you to file a police report then you don't need to, since the police really can't do much about it. If they do tell you to file a police report then you should so that you can keep your money.
Last year someone stole my card and used it to make two purchases before I canceled it. The bank gave me my money back immediately, but I later had to fill out a form, basically saying that the charges were indeed fraudulent. That's pretty much the extent of the investigation.

Yes. You have to file a police report. It should be done with your local police department. They may say they can't, but they must.
It's good the bank is acting on this.
Keep records of everything, forever. This will undoubtedly come up again in the future.
This is a low priority crime. Odds are the person will never be caught.

Isn't this better asked of the people in the bank?

report it to everyone you can.
keep careful records for years even if it seems there is no activity on the case.
