Heading out of town for a few days? The Police Department offers a Property Watch program where officers will drive by your residence to make sure everything is alright. Complete our Property Watch Form to start the process.
We do not take requests over the phone or by fax. Depending on the type of report, you may have to fill out a written request. A copy of our request form is available in PDF format here.
What do I bring?
Please bring photo identification.
If mailing my request what do include?
A mailed request must have a notarized copy of the requester’s identification. If requesting from an insurance company, lawyer, business, etc. the request must be printed on business letterhead and indicate who they are representing. Please describe what kind of report you need. Make sure to include identifying information such as date, time, location, etc. and the police case report number if known. The more information we have to find the report the better. Sometimes case numbers get jumbled, please list contact information in case we have questions.
Is there a fee?
All Police reports cost 5 dollars. If you are sending in a mailed request please include payment. Money orders or business checks only, we do not take personal checks.
Can anyone receive a copy of a report?
Anyone can request a copy of a police report, however, depending on who is requesting the report it may be edited in accordance to GRAMA law. All reports are public unless classified as private, controlled, or protected. If a record is classified as “public,” it may be disclosed to anyone (and shall be disclosed, upon request), provided it does not also contain information that is classified as private, controlled, or protected. If the record does contain private, controlled, or protected information, that information must be segregated and not released, unless the requester is otherwise entitled to access to that information.

What if I need to pick up a report for someone else?
Unless you bring a notarized release from that person, their information will be edited out of the report. If there are juveniles listed in a report all of their information will be edited out unless a parent or guardian submits a copy of their birth certificate.
I need to get a copy of an accident.
Per UCA 41-6a-404 (3)(a) traffic accidents are protected and will only be released to:
- A person involved in the accident, excluding a witness to the accident
- A person suffering loss or injury in the accident
- An agent, parent or legal guardian of a person (must have proof)
Please give us 5 to 10 days following the accident to process the information before requesting a copy.
I still have questions, who can I talk to?
