To get a copy of your traffic collision report from the Downey Police Department, there are a couple of options available to you. The Downey Police Department understands that driving to the police station and waiting in line can be a hassle, and so they have made their accident reports available to all online.
If you want to request a copy of your police report online, it is important that you allow a minimum of 10 days from the date of the collision. Each report must be reviewed and approved for release. Traffic reports that resulted in an arrest or a fatality are not available online. There is a convenience fee that comes with retrieving your online traffic collision report. If you need help finding your report online, contact the eCrash Help Desk at (866) 215-2771.
The Downey Police Department understands that not everyone has the equipment to access online files, or wants to pay the convenience fee. Anyone that wishes to collect their report in-person can come to the front counter of the Records Bureau during business hours to obtain a copy of their collision report.
Their offices are open from 7:30 am – 5:30 pm Monday through Friday, and 2:30 pm – 5:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, excluding holidays.
