Get a Police Report

There are three types of police reports:

Complete reports are not available until the case is closed, adjudicated, or the statute of limitations has passed. Victims needing a report for insurance purposes may receive a partial report prior to this. At all times, a redacted copy is provided to preserve confidentiality as afforded by Chapter 92-F of the Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes.

Approved motor vehicle accident reports are available to parties of interest as defined in Chapter 291C-20 of the Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes.

A redacted copy of a miscellaneous public report may be provided to requestors who provide either the report number or date/time/location information that allows for identification of the report.
