How to get your crash report in Arizona

1. 1

   Know what it's called

   01-2704, the Arizona Crash Report

   Police use it statewide, and many file it electronically. A fatal crash adds a supplement, form 01-2705.

2. 2

   Find where to request it

   Interstates and state highways: the Department of Public Safety (DPS)

   Request it on the DPS Public Services Portal with the incident number, a capital I and 8 digits. You can also mail your request to Arizona Department of Public Safety, Attn: Public Records, PO Box 6638 Mail Drop 3240, Phoenix, AZ 85005-6638, or take it to 2222 W. Encanto Blvd in Phoenix.

   Open the DPS Public Services Portal→ (opens in a new tab)

   Town, city and county roads: the police department or sheriff's office that responded

   Ask the agency that wrote it. DPS cannot give you its report.

   DPS takes no requests by phone, and no personal checks.

3. 3

   Check what a copy costs

   DPS, by email or the portal	$9
   DPS, on paper	$9 for 9 pages
   Police department or sheriff's office	sets its own

   DPS charges 10¢ for each paper page after the first 9.

4. 4

   Expect the wait

   DPS	not published
   Police department or sheriff's office	ask them

   DPS doesn't say when a report is ready to request. Once it is, a request on the portal from someone in the crash is usually filled within 48 hours. A fatal crash, or a report with attachments, takes longer.
