Accident Reports
In an effort to provide a higher level of customer service by expediting the process of obtaining a motor vehicle crash report, the Roanoke Police Department has partnered with PoliceReports.US, LLC. This partnership allows citizens and insurance companies to obtain motor vehicle crash reports investigated by the Roanoke Police Department through the convenience of a user-friendly internet site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Crash reports generated on or after July 1, 2008 are available on-line and in many cases reports can be accessed within 24-72 hours of the accident. Hit and Run accidents may require additional time. Crash reports can also be requested in person at the Roanoke Police Department located at 609 Dallas Drive.
