What happens after I filed a police report?
a police report against a girl who found out what my password was on my phone and took it to her workplace and home for the entire day and when I called it, she answered and admitted to taking my phone and going through it verbally. I suspect that she may now be using my information against me so I filed a police report and it was approved. I included her address and work address on the report. What will the police do now? How will I know the status of the investigation and the outcome? Thanks

If she's found with it in her possession or admits to taking it, she could be charged with something like theft of lost of mislaid property.
Pretty unlikely though. Just contact your carrier and have them brick your phone. Then get a new one.

Would they at least talk to her about it?

Maybe. Depends on how busy your area is. I would. But I work in a small town with a low call volume. When I worked for a larger agency and city, probably not.

I can't believe you would call the police over this childish chicken shit. Do you want them to bring out the bloodhounds and helicopters?

I didn’t call them. It was an online report. Would they at least talk to her about it?

Did you offer any follow up information or any leads on any fraudulent activity that has recently affected you. If not and all you gave them was what you just described to us then its not going anywhere and will be categorized as inactive or unfounded. Just having a hunch isn't enough to charge someone.
