Police Reports


Anytime an individual is involved in a motor vehicle accident and a police report is made, all parties listed on the police report have an entry of that accident placed on their driving record. When this entry is placed on the record, there are no points assessed and it does not specify who was at fault.

 

Copies of crashes investigated by the Ohio State Highway Patrol may be obtained by writing to:

    Ohio Department of Public Safety

    Ohio State Highway Patrol

    Central Records
    1970 West Broad Street
    Columbus, Ohio 43223

There is a $4.00 fee for each copy requested. Questions regarding accident reports can be directed to the Central Records at (614) 466-3536.

 

NOTE: A Police Report is different from a State Crash Report.
