Probably not. Police reports generally are not released to persons other than the defendants attorney while a case is pending. After a case is finished, any member of the public may obtain copies of some reports by filing a Public Disclosure request with the involved law enforcement agency. I reported an incident to the County Sheriff’s Office and they told me it was a civil problem. Your office told me the it will not get involved in a civil complaint against another person. Where do I go now? If you have a non-criminal legal question or conflict that needs resolving, ask yourself: Is the county government involved? If the county government is not involved, the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office cannot get involved either, and you may wish to consult with a private attorney. You can call CLEAR (Coordinated Legal Education, Advice & Referral) at 1-888-201-1014 for a referral to a local attorney.
