Find the right Los Angeles collision report, distinguish city streets from freeway incident coverage, and explore the city\u2019s road-safety data. Start with the investigating agency on your paperwork rather than assuming every Los Angeles-area crash belongs to LAPD.<\/p>

LOCAL ROAD SAFETY CONTEXT<\/p>

Use the High Injury Network to understand street safety<\/h2>

Los Angeles\u2019s Vision Zero resources identify a High Injury Network and priority locations for safety improvements. These maps address patterns of fatal and severe-injury crashes; they are not a live list of collisions.<\/p>

When reviewing a corridor, check the map\u2019s study period and whether you are viewing city boundaries, priority corridors, or intersections. A historical concentration of crashes does not establish the cause of an individual collision.<\/p>

Request an LAPD traffic collision report<\/h2>

LAPD provides a dedicated collision-report ordering page with online and mail instructions. Its published guidance asks users to allow at least 45 days before attempting an online request so the report can be reviewed and approved for release. Check the current page for eligibility, exclusions, fees, and required information; this is not a guarantee that a report will be ready on a particular day.<\/p>

Keep the report number, crash date, location, and involved party information together. A request for a report copy is different from filing a new police report.<\/p>

If CHP or another department investigated<\/h2>

Check the agency name on the officer\u2019s card. If CHP investigated, use the CHP route in our California guide<\/a>. A Los Angeles County location may involve another municipal police department or the sheriff rather than LAPD.<\/p>
