If you want to get a police accident report, you will need to get in touch with the police department that investigated the scene of the accident. They will only require you to fill out a request form. If you were involved in the accident yourself, make a note to request the report number from the responding officer before they leave the scene of the accident. Applications may be made in person, through the mail, or on the local police website. Note that police reports are often released to authorized persons such as victims or their representatives.
