Arizona crash reports
We do not yet publish Arizona crash records. Arizona DPS sells reports for crashes on state highways for $9, and city and county agencies sell their own. Here is who can get one, what you need and how long it takes.
How to get your Arizona crash report
Who can get the report
The people involved in the crash, vehicle owners, their insurers, and attorneys or private investigators working for a party get an unredacted report. Arizona DPS will not release reports for commercial solicitation, and anyone requesting a report for a commercial purpose must say so.
Where to request it
The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) holds reports only for crashes on state highways. Request those through the DPS Public Services Portal.
For a crash on a city street or a county road, ask the city police department or the county sheriff that responded. Many local agencies sell their reports through LexisNexis BuyCrash or CrashDocs; the Chandler Police Department uses both.
