Types of Requests
-
Background Checks:
Background investigators must present their credentials and provide a legible copy of the release information form. The Records Office retains a copy of the release form but does not provide copies of the actual records. Released information includes the date of the incident, the type of contact, and the disposition, if available. -
Crash Reports:
Direct all requests for crash reports to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). -
Incident-Based Reports (IBR):
Request IBRs from the Records Support Division Lieutenant or designee. IBRs only go to law enforcement agencies or require a court subpoena. Individuals involved in an incident can obtain verification by presenting a photo ID along with an incident verification form that includes the officer’s name, case number, and date. -
Lost or Damaged Property:
For insurance purposes, we issue a letter identifying lost or damaged items and their value.
