After a collision, you may want to obtain your Police Accident Report, which is a compilation of the Investigating Officer’s findings. This report is filed electronically, and your participation is required to get a copy. There may be notations listing contributors to the accident. A diagram or drawing may also be included, to show the point of impact and any visible vehicle damages.
The Records Division of the Forest Acres Police Department has provided us with the following information and points of contact to assist in the acquisition of your Police Accident Report. There is a fee of $3.00 in cash or by money order (no personal checks), and they will also accept Visa/MasterCard/Discover cards.
Your Police Accident Report may only be requested in person or by mail (please see those sections below).
