California collision reports are released by the agency that took the report, to parties of proper interest.

Find the agency on the record. For a California Highway Patrol (CHP) report, ask the CHP Area office that took it; any CHP Area office can release it.
For a CHP report, fill in the CHP 190 request form and send it in person or by mail to the Area office with the fee. For a report by a city police department or sheriff, ask that agency's records unit; many sell through LexisNexis BuyCrash.
Say which crash you mean: the date and the place.
Reports for fatal or criminal cases take longer, so ask the office before you travel.

Fee: at cost (CHP: $10 per 25 pages)
Wait: about 7 to 10 business days
Who can ask: Parties of proper interest under Vehicle Code 20012: drivers, passengers, injured persons, vehicle and property owners, and their attorneys and insurers. There is no public copy.
