Police reports must be completed by the investigating officer then submitted for approval. It normally takes 7-10 days for a police report to be routed through the approval process. Active investigation or other more detailed reports may take additional time before they are available for release. Once a Public Records Request is submitted, MPD Records staff will contact you letting you know when the report is available for pickup, along with payment instructions.

To obtain a copy of a police report a Public Record Request must be submitted. There is a $5.00 copy fee for each report being requested. Victims of certain crimes may receive a copy of their report at no cost. MPD police cases are not eligible for electronic release.  The following information is required to properly process police report requests:

Incident number (MPD uses a seven digit report number system: 11-00000)

Nature of incident

Date and time of incident

Location of incident

Name(s) of person(s) involved

• Submission of police report requests with insufficient information will result in delayed processing.
