• How do I Obtain a copy of a Report?

  To obtain a copy of a traffic accident report or police report, please make your request at the police station at 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM M-F. You will need to provide as much of the following information you have available at that time: Name of the person involved in the accident or incident date; approximate time and the case file number if known.

  Please note that a State traffic accident report may not be completed on the date of the crash if the officer has a follow-up investigation to complete. In criminal matters, investigation reports are not public until the investigation has been completed and a charging decision made by the prosecutor per Minnesota statutes Chapter 13.
