Reliable Accident Information When It Matters Most
Free assistance. No obligation.
Getting a copy of a police report after an accident isn’t always straightforward. Because each agency has its own process, it’s not always clear where to begin. We can help simplify the process at no charge to you.
What’s Included in a Police Report
Accident Date, Time, and Location
Police reports document when and where the accident occurred, helping establish an accurate timeline of events.
Report Number and Responding Agency
Each report includes an official report number and the law enforcement agency that responded, making it easier to reference and obtain official records.
Officer Observations and Incident Details
The responding officer records observations about the scene, including road conditions, vehicle damage, and other relevant factors.

How Accident Reports Work
1. Information Is Confirmed Over Time
Accident details are often released in stages. Law enforcement and emergency responders confirm facts as they complete their reports, so early coverage may be updated as an investigation continues.
2. Police Reports Require Processing
Police reports are rarely available immediately. Processing time depends on the responding agency, the complexity of the incident, and whether the investigation is still open.
3. Procedures Vary by Agency
Every law enforcement agency follows its own process for preparing and releasing accident reports. Requirements, fees and turnaround times differ between city police departments, county sheriffs and state agencies.
4. What a Police Report Contains
A police accident report typically records the date, time and location of the crash, the report number and responding agency, the officer’s observations of road conditions and vehicle damage, and details of the drivers, passengers and vehicles involved.
5. How We Can Help
We help identify which agency holds your report and guide you through requesting it. There is no charge for this service and no obligation.
6. Available Whenever You Need It
Accident reports and updates are published throughout the day, and you can reach us at 888-657-1460 at any time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a copy of my accident report?
A copy of a police accident report is requested from the law enforcement agency that responded to the crash, which is usually a city police department, county sheriff or state highway patrol. Most agencies accept requests online, by mail or in person. Local Accident Reports can help you identify the right agency at no charge.How long does it take for a police report to be available?
A police accident report is usually available within five to ten business days of the crash, although timing varies by agency. Reports involving serious injuries or fatalities often take longer because the investigation has to be completed first. Contacting the responding agency directly is the fastest way to confirm the status of a specific report.Why is my accident not listed on this site?
Local Accident Reports publishes incidents that appear in official agency releases and credible local sources, so not every crash is covered. Minor collisions without injuries are rarely reported publicly. If an incident is missing and you believe it should be listed, call 888-657-1460 and we will look into it.Where does Local Accident Reports get its information?
Local Accident Reports compiles incident information from law enforcement releases, emergency response reports and credible local news sources across the United States. Early details can change as investigations continue, and coverage is updated as new information is confirmed. Readers who spot an inaccuracy can contact us so we can correct the record.Is there a cost to request an accident report?
Help from Local Accident Reports is free and carries no obligation. Some law enforcement agencies charge a small administrative fee for the copy of the report itself. That fee is set by the agency rather than by us, and it varies from one jurisdiction to another.Can information in an accident report change?
Details in an accident report can change as an investigation continues. Initial reports are often filed at the scene before every fact is confirmed, and agencies may later issue amended reports correcting information about the vehicles, the parties involved or the sequence of events.What People Are Saying About Local Accident Reports
