Copies of accident reports may be released by the Port Jervis Police Department Headquarters Desk, which has a public counter in the Police lobby of Police Headquarters. Reports may take up to 48 hours after the report is filed to be processed and available for release, although 24 hours is more common. The base fee for this report is $5, and additional fees may apply depending on the type and complexity of the report, and whether or not photographs are included. Reports are not public property, and they will be released only to those persons with a right to have them.

Fee’s must be paid to the City Clerk Treasurer during normal operating hours of Monday – Friday from 9:00am until 5:00pm. All fees must be paid prior to receiving any documents. A receipt of payment will be checked prior to releasing any documents.

Copies of crime reports are obtainable with a freedom of information request that is obtainable from the office of the city clerk/treasurer.

If purchasing a report through the police station, first visit the office of the city clerk treasurer and pay the fee for the accident report, currently $5.00.  This must be done between the hours of 9am-5pm Monday through Friday.   From there, respond to the police station main desk and provide the receipt to the desk sergeant or dispatcher at the desk.  Your report will be printed for you and provided to you with the receipt.
