Overview
To obtain a copy of a police report or police incident entry, you will need to fill out a Records Request Form. The completed form may be submitted online, mailed, faxed, or hand delivered to the Police Department.
Please note that not all reports or information in a report are subject to public release. Reports involving domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and elder abuse are a few examples of confidential reports that have stringent release guidelines. The victim of domestic violence can request a copy of their report at the earliest time to facilitate the acquisition of a restraining order.
The timeline between filing a request and receiving the report can be 7 to 10 days. If you are a criminal defendant a full copy of the report is presented to your attorney, after charges are filed by the District Attorney.
For more information or to inquire if you are able to obtain a copy of a report, please contact the Records Bureau at 707-431-3490.
