A police report is an official document that provides detailed information about an accident, including the date, time, and location of the crash, the names and contact information of the driver and the passengers, as well as the police officer’s name and badge number. Police reports are important because they often include information about which driver was at fault. However, if the police officer does not arrive at the accident scene, you can go to the nearest police station and request a police report, or you may be able to file a police report online.
