COLLISION REPORTS

The Department Records Unit (DRU) maintains records for collisions (accidents) that were investigated by DPS Troopers occurring on an Interstate or State Highway. If the report you are requesting was the result of a collision that occurred on a town, city or county road, contact the law enforcement agency in that jurisdiction.

The Department Records Unit receives completed reports from DPS Troopers within 14 days of the incident.  Please wait at least 14 days to check on report availability by contacting the Department Records Unit at (602) 223-2230 or (602) 223-2236.   

Arizona Revised Statute §28-667 prohibits examining or receiving copies of accident reports for commercial solicitation. "Commercial solicitation means a request for an accident report at a time when there is no relationship between the person or the principle of the person requesting the accident report and any party involved in the accident and there is no reason for the person to request the report other than for the purposes of soliciting a business or commercial relationship."
