Should you wish to come into the office to retrieve your report, we ask that you call ahead to have accident reports pre-printed to minimize the time you spend out in the public. Our business office will be available to take calls and assist you.

For example, if your report number is 2020-111, you should put zero’s in front of the last three digits to find the report (2020-0000111) for a total of twelve (12) characters including the dash. Should you have any issues in finding your report, the business office will be happy to assist you further by phone. If you have completed all the steps and your report is not available, it is possible that the officer is still in the process of completing the accident report or the report has not been approved by a supervisor.
