New Mexico crash reports
We do not yet publish New Mexico crash records. New Mexico has no single place to buy crash reports: the agency that investigated the crash holds it. Here is how to reach the State Police and Albuquerque Police.
How to get your New Mexico crash report
Who can get the report
New Mexico does not publish a statewide rule on who may get a crash report. Ask the agency that investigated whether it can release the report to you.
Where to request it

- New Mexico State Police and Motor Transportation Police reports: the Department of Public Safety Law Enforcement Records Bureau.
- Albuquerque Police Department reports: the APD Records Division. Accident reports cannot be requested online; call 505-242-COPS.
- Other cities and counties: the police department or sheriff that responded.
