Dillon Police Accident Reports
After a collision, one piece of evidence you will definitely want to secure is your Police Accident Report; a compilation of the Investigating Officer’s findings. This report will be filed electronically, requiring your participation or that of your representative to get a copy.
Toward this end, Auger & Auger Accident and Injury Lawyers offers these complete instructions for locating a copy of your Dillon Police Accident Report. If we can help to interpret and answer any questions you may have about your report, please contact us at 828-222-7649 for a free consultation. Reports are only provided to individuals directly involved in an accident. We do not provide reports to third parties such as attorneys, or insurance carriers.
How to Obtain Your Dillon Police Accident Report
The Dillon Police Department Records Unit in South Carolina has provided us with the following details and points of contact to assist in the acquisition of your Police Accident Report. You will find specific instructions within each method-of-access section.
There is a $5.00 fee for all parties, whether or not they were involved in the accident. This may be paid in cash, money order, no personal checks although printed business checks are accepted. Your report may be obtained in person, emailed to you, or sent to your mailing address.
Uninvolved parties may be asked to provide a Freedom of Information Act FOIA Request Form. This form will be available at the Records Unit, or you may download an FOIA from the SC DPS and include it with your mailed request. Note: uninvolved parties may only be allowed a redacted copy (at the discretion of the Records Officer).
Note: For Interstate accident reports, see specific instructions to request your report from the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles in the By Mail section.
