| Accident, Incident, and Offense Reports
The Public Documents Unit provides copies of Accident (PD-10s) and Incident/Offense Reports (PD-251s).
When an officer arrives on the scene for an automobile accident or for a simple assault, he or she may write an Accident Report (PD-10) or an Incident/Offense Report (PD-251). This report is given a six-digit identifying number (often referred to as the CCN). Please make a note of this number for future reference. (If you need to find out the report number, call the station of the police district that responded to the incident.) Copies of the PD-10 are usually given to insurance companies for claim purposes.
Effective February 3, 2003, the Public Documents Unit, as well as district stations, will provide copies of Incident/Offense Reports (PD-251s) free of charge at the request of the complainant, the complainant's spouse, or the parent or guardian of a juvenile complainant. The requester must appear in person and provide government-issued photo identification.
