Accident Reports

If you require a copy of an accident report where no arrest was made and you were a party to the accident, please visit the Crash Logic website and you will be able to order a copy of your report. Iye-Crash is an Internet based application that was developed to help law enforcement agencies and insurance companies manage and access traffic accident reports in a more efficient manner. It will be necessary to provide Iye-Crash with the report number and, it must be entered into Iye-Crash exactly as it is written on the report.

Freedom of Information Requests

If you are requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), you will need to use our FOIA Request Form (PDF) to make the request and submit it to our office. Detail the records that you are looking for including date, incident number, name(s) or person(s) involved. If you are not a party in the report then you must describe your connection to the incident. This is needed to determine what might be excluded under the Freedom of Information Act, which provides protection to the privacy of individuals involved. Written requests will be responded to within five workings days from the date received by our office.
