Online Police Reports

Huntsville, Alabama (September 16, 2008) The City of Huntsville Department of Public Safety is pleased to announce the beginning of a new program that will enable individuals involved in traffic accidents within the city limits, to download these accident reports from the internet.  September 16, 2008 is the beginning date for traffic accidents that are accessible on-line.  Individuals will be able to sign on to the internet using two different web-pages: http://huntsvilleal.policereports.us or www.hsvcity.com/police.  Links on the search page are easy to follow.  Access to reports require the report number, date of the accident and a last name of a driver.  Once the search is completed, the system will prompt for a credit card number or an account number if a business or insurance company.  The fee for the accident report on-line is $12.50, or citizens can continue to obtain copies of the reports at the Records Division Office at the Huntsville Police Department during regular business hours for $10. The State of Alabama requires that a SR13 form be completed by each driver involved in an accident.  This form is available for free on the web-page.  On-line accident reports will enable the public and/or insurance companies to retrieve the accidents after a 72 hour processing time without having to drive to the Department of Public Safety Building at 815 Wheeler Ave, and wait in line.  Locating and downloading your accident report on-line only takes a few minutes and can be accessed from any computer with internet capability.  The Department of Public Safety is very excited about this new program being offered to the public and the benefits that it provides.
