Note: Portions of the report may be “redacted” (blacked out) by law. The information redacted is sensitive information concerning involved parties, such as social security numbers, dates of birth, and in some cases driver’s license numbers. ALL juvenile information (including names) will be redacted from reports as well.
Note for Motor Vehicle Accidents: In some cases a Police Officer cannot sign a motor vehicle complaint because the officer did not witness the accident. You may sign a complaint within thirty (30) days of the accident. If the crash report involved serious injuries, fatalities, or required addition investigation, the report will take longer to complete.
