Crash Reports, Incident Reports, Background Checks, FOIA Requests and Discovery Requests

Copies of Crash Reports, Incident Reports, Background Checks, FOIA Requests and Discovery Requests are facilitated through GovTransfer. In most circumstances, these reports are available approximately 48 hours after an incident during regular office hours, unless the case is still under investigation. GovTransfer is used by the Department for transferring sensitive information in a secure environment to our residents and to other agencies.  Below are instructions to assist with GovTransfer account setup.  If you require assistance, GovTransfer technical support contact information can be found below.
