The simplest way to obtain a car accident police report in NYC is to visit the precinct with the jurisdiction of the area where the accident took place. If you are not sure which precinct handles accidents in the area where your collision happened, you can locate your local precinct online. Be sure to call ahead to the precinct with the address or intersection of where the accident happened in hand to verify that it is the location you should visit. Obtaining your NYC car accident police report in person means you don’t have to pay a fee and you don’t have to worry about it getting delayed or lost in the mail. If your accident occurred on Long Island or somewhere where the precinct is less convenient to visit, you can request your police accident report online or by mail.
