Police Report Request

How To Obtain a Copy of a Police Report

To obtain a report, and to avoid additional delays, please provide as much information as possible about the incident and the persons involved. Supply, if known, the date of the incident, the full names and dates of birth of the persons involved, the location of the incident, the type of incident, and the license plates or vehicle identification numbers (VINs) of the vehicles involved. The more specific information you provide, the more likely it is that we will be able to locate the record you are seeking.

  • Date of the incident - provide the date and time the incident occurred, or when the report was filed, if it was at a later time
  • Full name and date of birth - provide the first, middle, and last names of the persons involved. Date of birth is also very important in narrowing the search.
  • Location of incident - provide the exact address of the incident. If there isn't an exact address, provide cross streets.
  • Type of incident - provide information on the type of incident that occurred. Examples of commonly requested reports include traffic crashes, thefts, harassment, etc.
  • License plate and/or VIN - provide as much information as possible about the vehicle(s) involved. The description "red Toyota 4 door" is not searchable, but "Oregon license plate ABC123 red Toyota Camry" is very specific and will narrow the search.
