How to Request a Police Report

If you would like a copy of a police report (such as a traffic accident report), please visit the police department during office hours. You will need to bring your photo ID and the case report number to obtain a copy of a report. At the police department you will need to complete a records request form. You can download the form and complete it prior to coming to the police department; however, the name on the records request form must match the name on your photo ID.

Please note that traffic accident reports do not include telephone numbers for the insurance companies. The traffic accident report only includes the name of the insurance company, the policy number, and the policy expiration date.
