How to Request a Police Report in New York

In New York State, police reports can be requested from the New York State Police for incidents on state highways, or from local police departments including the NYPD for New York City incidents. The DMV requires Form MV-104 for all reportable accidents. Online requests are available through the NYS DMV website or individual police department portals. You'll need the incident date, location, and report number if available.

Required Documents

New York requires a valid driver's license or state ID, the police report number or accident date/location, names of involved parties, and appropriate fees ($10-$30 depending on agency). For NYPD reports, you may need to visit the precinct where the report was filed. Insurance companies can request reports with a notarized letter of authorization from their insured.

Common Uses for Police Reports

New York police reports are required for insurance claims exceeding $1,000 in property damage, DMV accident reporting requirements, personal injury lawsuits, commercial vehicle compliance, TLC (Taxi and Limousine Commission) requirements for professional drivers, and employment verification. The MV-104 form is specifically required by the DMV within 10 days of an accident.

Access Restrictions

New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) governs access to police reports. Personal information including social security numbers, medical information, and witness statements may be redacted. Reports involving ongoing investigations or criminal proceedings may have limited availability. Only parties directly involved, their legal representatives, or insurance companies with proper authorization can access full reports.
