The official report typically contains the parties and vehicles involved, the insurance information exchanged at the scene, the officer's diagram and narrative of what happened, any citations issued, and driver or witness statements. You'll usually need it for your insurance claim — and if anyone was injured, the officer's account of fault is often the single most important document in the claim.
Not sure Tempe PD is the right agency? It depends on where the crash happened, not where you live. Tell us the crash location and we'll figure out the right agency — it's part of what we do. See our full Arizona crash report guide for every agency statewide.

What if I don't have my report or case number?
You can still get your report. The official portals usually ask for the report or case number, the crash date, and an involved party's name — but if you don't have that number, our team can locate your Tempe PD report from your name, the date, and where the crash happened.
