Police accident reports available for purchase online

The Farmers Branch Police Department is excited to announce their participation in a new program that allows the general public and insurers access to purchase motor vehicle accidents via the Internet, joining the growing list of north Texas cities that are currently utilizing this technology.

In an effort to provide a higher level of customer service, by expediting the process of obtaining an accident report, the Farmers Branch Police Department has partnered with PoliceReports.US. This partnership will allow citizens to purchase accident reports investigated by the Farmers Branch Police Department, through the convenience of a user-friendly Internet site.

Beginning June 22, 2007, accident reports generated on or after June 1, 2007 will be available for purchase online at www.policereports.us or the direct Farmers Branch link at http://farmersbranchtx.policereports.us/. To search for a report, enter the report number or the date of the accident report and the name of one of the drivers. Major credit or debit cards are accepted. 

Citizens and insurers will still be able to obtain a copy of an accident report by contacting the Records Division at the Farmers Branch Police Department Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.  The online method is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and will bypass the inconvenience of waiting in line, travel, and time spent mailing requests. In most cases, reports can be accessed within five days of the accident. Older accident reports may be obtained by calling the Records Division at 972-919-9311 or 972-919-9314.  The fee for accident reports retrieved online or from the Records Department is $6.
