A Denver police accident report gets filed by the officer who responds to your crash, and it contains important facts and statements about your accident.
If you were in a serious traffic accident, it’s important to review a copy of your report to be sure it is accurate.
Accident reports are often used by your insurance company, the courts, and legal representatives as a part of your claim.
As experienced Denver auto accident attorneys, we can help you obtain your copy and answer any questions you may have. Give us a call at (303) 647-9990.

Important Notes About Your Denver Police Accident Report
- Accidents that occurred in Denver but were only reported to Colorado State Patrol are not available from the DPD.
- Hit-and-run accidents and accidents involving a fatality are available from the Civil Liability Section by ordering an “Investigation Report.” The fee is $15 for an investigation report.
- Fees collected are search fees under Denver Revised Municipal Code 42-1. If a report or record does not exist or is not releasable, funds collected are not returned.
- If you aren’t sure of your case number or have any other questions, you can call the Denver Police Department Records Unit at (720) 913-6755 for assistance.
