How do I obtain a copy of my accident report?[back to top of page]
GBPD Officers complete two types of accident forms, one is the
Wisconsin Reportable Accident Form, the other is the GBPD
Non-Reportable Crash Report. The Wisconsin form is reserved for more
serious accidents involving injuries or property damage in excess of
$1000 to property owned by any one person, or in excess of $200 to
government property. These Wisconsin Accident Reports are available
online. Please note that they will not be available until at
least 7-10 days after the accident occurs.
If you were involved in a less serious accident that did not meet the above criteria, a Non-Reportable Crash Report would have been completed. A carbon copy of that form should have been issued to you either at the scene, if available, or by several days later. If you lost your copy or need another, please contact Records at 920-448-3329. You should have the following information available when you call:
Date, Time, Location of the accident, Case Number if known, and the names of drivers.
Once your report is ready, you can pick it up in person between 8am-10pm 7 days a week. You can also arrange to prepay in order to have the report mailed to you when ready.
2. How do I obtain a copy of a regular police report?[back to top of page]
Police Reports will only be available after a case has been closed or adjudicated in court. Materials from active investigations, including accidents, will not be made available. Several other types of information will not be released including Juvenile records, Medical Records, or anything the courts deem confidential. If you know a case has been closed and wish to request a copy of the report you can make the request several ways, detailed below. There are costs associated with making records requests. You will be charged $.25 per page for photocopies up to a limit of $50.00. If the report is larger than the $50 level, you will be charged the actual labor and materials cost for records duplication.
