A PRACTICAL PLACE TO START
Requesting a Newport Beach collision report
If the Newport Beach Police Department prepared your report, its Records Requests page explains the process for involved parties and authorized representatives. Have your case or event number available, if you received one, and follow the department’s current instructions for identification and requests.
If another agency investigated, request the report from that agency. Report availability can vary; you can speak with our team while you wait.
