Who can obtain a copy of a police crime report?
To obtain a copy of a traffic accident, you must be listed as the driver, passenger, or an authorized representative of the people listed in the report or someone filing a claim. To obtain a copy of a property or crime against a person report, you must provide a case number or other information to assist in identifying the incident. The report may be released if it is not still under investigation or restricted. We do not release copies of arrest reports. If you are the arrested party on a police report, you may obtain a copy through the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office when you appear in court for the arraignment. If a juvenile is listed on the police report as a suspect, is arrested, or involved in criminal activity which may result in dependency procedures, you may only obtain a report copy after a juvenile court order is obtained through the San Diego County Juvenile Court.
