Obtaining Copies of Reports

Copies of incident reports and traffic accident reports may be obtained through the Records Bureau during business hours. Police reports are $12. Please allow time for processing the report, generally 72 hours, and call ahead to make sure the report has been processed before coming into the station. Records will not bill (invoice) for reports.

In order to obtain a copy of a report, the requestor’s name must appear in the report. Contact the Records Bureau at 734-374-1535 for further details. Certain information, which is governed by state and federal privacy laws, is always redacted from the report, prior to copying. This may include, but is not limited to, phone numbers, witness information, suspect information (until a case is completely adjudicated), and medical data.
