Can I receive information and/or a copy of the police reports in a particular case?
State statutes prohibit the District Attorney’s Office from giving legal advice to private individuals. The office staff can provide very general information about the status of a case, but staff cannot provide details relating to a case.
Generally, police reports are not released to anyone other than the defendant or attorney for the defendant. In situations where State law authorizes reports to be released to other parties, a written request must be submitted to this office. The office will not release a copy of the report to victims, third parties, or others without a specific written request and approval from the attorney assigned to the case. There is a charge of $0.25/page for copies of police reports.
