Records Unit

William Sanders
The Records Unit is the depository for all original police reports. These include offense reports, vehicular accident reports, tow-in reports, and all additional reports completed by Patrol and Investigative officers.
These reports are processed, indexed and archived for permanent storage. The unit is also responsible for entering, updating, validating, and cancellation of all reported statistical and criminal history information provided to metro area, state, and federal Criminal History Record Information databases. The unit also disseminates the departmental mail and information received from tele-communication links.
The unit will provide copies of all reports ($5.00 per offense or accident report), criminal history record checks ($10.00 and only provided to the person whose history is obtained) and motor vehicle driving records ($6.00 and you must show your driver’s license). Crime scene and accident scene photos, if available, can be special ordered ($11.00 per photograph or contact sheet) as well as videotapes ($25.00 per videotape). Special reports/studies can also be arranged for here ($25.00 for normal reports, fee determined by length of time spent completing the study). Persons needing fingerprints taken for employment or other purposes pay for this service ($5.00 per card) at the counter and then are processed through the nearby Identification Unit. These fees are set by city ordinance.
The Records Unit is also a key contact point for citizens who are seeking information about reported incidents or crime or who need to obtain services provided by other units or personnel within the Police Department. The unit is open daily from 7:30 to 5:30, Monday through Friday (closed on weekends and holidays). The Records Unit can be reached by calling (913) 573-6100 or FAX to (913)573-6149.
