Request a Copy of a Case
We will only release reports to victims of certain property crimes (i.e. burglary, arson, vandalism, theft), insurance carriers, or victims of certain violent crimes as noted below. If you are not named as the victim in the case, the report will not be released. Arrested persons are not entitled to a copy of the report from this agency. However, they may obtain reports through their legal representatives and/or subpoena process. All other involved parties may request a copy of the records pursuant to the California Public Records Act. However, records that are exempt from disclosure pursuant to Government Codes 7927.200 and 7923.600-7923.625 will not be released. Click here for additional information. Law enforcement agencies or other Government Agencies should submit their requests on their letterhead to our Records Department. You may request a police incident report in person at SCSO Headquarters during our normal business hours of 8 am-5 pm, Monday - Friday (closed on holidays).
