Police Records
Welcome to the Police Records page of our website. The answers to many questions regarding all types of police reports and forms can be found here. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following information and if you have any questions you may contact Susan Colucci.
Motor Vehicle Accident Reports
Accident reports are available no sooner than three business days after the date of the incident. Any delay beyond that time frame may be due to an individual officer’s schedule or the volume of reports at that time. Requests for information contained in an unfinished report cannot be accommodated. Accident reports cannot be faxed. Your available options to obtain an accident report are as follows.
Online
Download via the internet (for reports after January 1, 2011.)
In-Person Pickup
Reports are available to be obtained in person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The records administrator will assist you during normal business hours and the police dispatcher will be able to help you at all other times. The fee for accident report copies picked up in person is $0.75 per page, payable by cash, check or money order.

To have a copy of an accident report mailed to you, print out the Accident Report Request by Mail Form (DOC), complete and return it to this department with the $5 fee.
