Requesting a Police Report#
Our online system makes it easy to request a police report, crash (motor vehicle accident) report, background check, or other official records. You can also use this system to track the status of your request.
When requesting police reports, please provide as much information as possible about the incident, including a case number if you have it. This will help us locate the correct records for you.
NOTE: There may be times when a record is not releasable to the public.
Denial Of Inspection Of Records (C.R.S. § 24-72-305)

- Inspection or release is contrary to state statute
- Inspection or release is contrary to Supreme Court rule or order of any court
- Inspection or release is contrary to the public interest (i.e. investigative file material (whether the case is open or closed), intelligence information, information regarding security procedures of Sheriff, District Attorney or Police Department.)
