If you were involved in a crash the Louisville Police Department investigated, your traffic accident report is free. Request it through the Louisville Police online records request form, upload a copy of your driver’s license or government ID, and the department shares the record by email. Anyone who was not involved pays $7.00 for the first 10 pages and $0.25 for each page after.
Is a Louisville Police Accident Report Free?
Yes, for the people involved in the crash. The Louisville Police Department lists no charge for a traffic accident report requested by an involved party, and no charge for a case report requested by the victim. Other requesters pay:
| Record | Fee |
|---|---|
| Traffic accident report, involved party | No charge |
| Case report, victim | No charge |
| Case report or traffic accident report, others | $7.00 for the first 10 pages, $0.25 per page after |
| Video | $30.00 per hour of research and redaction |
| Photos | $30.00 per hour of research |
Fees are payable by cash or check made out to the City of Louisville. Additional fees may apply if redaction is needed.
How Do I Request a Louisville Police Accident Report?
- Open the form. Use the Louisville Police records request form.
- Identify the record. Colorado law requires a request specific enough to identify the exact record. The form asks for the type of incident, case report number, location, date, and the name and date of birth of the person involved, plus how that person was involved, such as victim or witness.
- Choose the record type. Select “Traffic accident report for the involved party” if you were in the crash.
- Upload your ID. The form asks you to upload a copy of a valid driver’s license or government-issued identification.
- Sign the statement. You affirm the records will not be used for the direct solicitation of business for pecuniary gain, as C.R.S. 24-72-305.5 requires.
The department shares the record with you by email.
Can I Get Body Camera Video From a Louisville Police Officer?
Yes, select digital media on the same form. Louisville Police explains that processing requires a technician to research and/or fully play back the photos and video, verify each person’s involvement, and redact them under Colorado law before release. That is why video is billed at $30.00 per hour, and requesting footage from several officers or a long time frame increases the cost.
