How To Obtain A Traffic Collision Report from the Simi Valley Police Department
Requesting a police report from the Simi Valley Police Department can be done in two ways.
You can show up in person to the department and go to the Records Counter, which is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and request a report there. Be sure to have proper identification ready to prove that you are an authorized person who can request the report. You should have your driver’s license, report number, and other details ready.
If you do not want to wait in line at the police department, you can send a request by mail. This mailed request should contain a letter asking for the release of a report, the details of the incident (report number, location of accident, date of the incident), a self-addressed envelope with a stamp, and a check or money order with the appropriate fees.
Keep in mind that a police report is not immediately available after an accident; it has to be filed and processed, and thus can take several days before it is ready to be released. Further, if there are any sensitive bits of confidential information, the report may not be released at all to avoid compromising an ongoing case.
