Who can get the report
Mississippi releases crash reports to people who are legally eligible under state law. The Department of Public Safety crash page links to the statute that sets out who that is.
Where to request it
The Mississippi Highway Patrol, part of the Department of Public Safety, sells its crash reports two ways:
- Online through ReportBeam: choose Public Access, then Purchase a Report.
- In person at a Highway Patrol district headquarters.
For a crash on city streets, ask the city police department, such as the Jackson Police Department.
What you need
The Highway Patrol does not list what you need to provide. Have the date and place of the crash and the name of a driver ready.
Fees and timing
A report costs $20 online through ReportBeam, or $15 in person at a district headquarters. No processing time is stated.
If the report is not filed yet
If you cannot find the report, call the Highway Patrol district headquarters, or the agency that responded to the crash, and ask whether it has been filed.
