Police & Crash Report Guidance

Find Out Exactly How to Get Your Police Report

Every police report is held by the specific agency that responded, and every agency has its own process, fees, and forms. We map that process for 1,500 US cities and 1,909 law enforcement agencies, and we will email you step-by-step instructions for your exact incident, free.

Straight answer about what we are: a privately owned informational service. We do not sell reports, we do not obtain them for you, and we are not a government agency. We research the correct request route for your incident and email you the exact steps, typically within 72 hours.

Request received

Check your inbox within 72 hours. We will send exact instructions for requesting your report, including the right agency, current fees, and required documents.

Why the Right Agency Matters

Report requests fail most often because they go to the wrong place. City police, county sheriffs, and state police each hold their own records.

City incidents

Incidents inside city limits are usually handled by the municipal police department, and its records division releases those reports.

County and unincorporated areas

Sheriff's offices cover county roads and unincorporated communities. Their reports never appear in city police systems.

Highways and state routes

Crashes worked by state police or highway patrol are requested through the state's official crash report system, often with a fixed fee.
