Request an Accident Report (PD-10) or an Incident/Offense Report (PD-251)

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 available to first party requestors at no charge and insurance companies for claim purposes at a fee $3 for each PD requested.

Effective January 1, 2016, the MPD Form, PD-251 Public Incident/Offence Report will be provided to the public via email, in-person and mail-in request. Fees associated with production of a PD-251 are temporarily waived. Email requests will be returned to the requestor. If there are any questions please contact the Public Documents Unit of the Records Division, Corporate Support Bureau at (202) 727-4357.
