"Incident location" is NOT a required field.
"Date" is the only required search parameter.

If you are having problems finding your report, try entering ONLY the date, OR the date and the last name of one of the drivers. You can then look through all of the reports for a given day, until you find yours.

Although we strive to get accident reports into the system in a timely manner, some accident reports are not available for up to two weeks after the date of the crash.  If you need a copy of a report prior to its availability online, you can always come to police HQ in person and request one.

Accident reports dated prior to August, 1998 are not available on this site and must be retrieved from Police Headquarters (3rd Floor), 120 Marconi Blvd., Columbus, Ohio, during these hours. Copies are $.05 per page.

If you are having trouble PRINTING a report, please see the special instructions for printing reports...

If you are looking for a CRIME report, and not an accident report, AND if you do not need an OFFICIAL copy of the report (a synopsis of the incident is sufficient), you can view the officer's preliminary investigation online.  If you cannot find your crime report online, or if you need an official copy of the report, click here for details on how to obtain one.

The records available on this website are released pursuant to the Ohio Public Records Act, Ohio Revised Code section 149.43.
