Identify the investigating agency
Check any paperwork provided at the scene. The report may be held by a police department, sheriff, highway patrol, or a statewide records system. Have the crash date, location, and report number ready.
Use the official request process
Eligibility, fees, and availability vary. Do not assume that a newly reported crash already has a completed report. If the record is missing, contact the agency to ask about its processing time.
