What reports are available to me?
Reports are available dating back to September 1, 1999.
However, there are several exclusions to which reports are
available to the public. Please read the disclaimer near the
bottom.
To retrieve a report, a report number and the last name of at least one
person associated with the report is required. A valid report number is a nine digit
number. Examples: 060123456 or 992740679. If you were given
a report number of 07-456, it should be entered as 070000456 to retrieve
the report. |

How do I use the Public Report Search?
Simply type in a nine digit report number and a last name, then click the Search button. If a
report is available a clickable link will appear; otherwise, a message stating that the
report can not be located will be displayed.
As conveyed in the previous section, to retrieve a report a report number and the last
name of at least one person associated with the report is required. |

|
|
How long until my report will be available?
It depends on a number of workflow issues within the Police Department, primarily related
to:
- how quickly data entry staff type in reports, and
- how quickly reports are reviewed and approved by supervisors.
Generally speaking, reports are available for public distribution in between 2 and 5
days…occasionally a little sooner, sometimes a little later |
