Records Unit

The Records Unit is the central repository of police records and official custodian of records for Police and Community Services. The Unit manages the daily influx of police reports and paperwork generated by patrol, investigations, and community services. These reports become part of the automated records management system (RMS). Crime Reports are filed with the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for review. Statistical information from our RMS is sent to the California Department of Justice and FBI for inclusion in the State and Federal crime reporting systems.

Requesting Reports and Records

Only authorized parties can access police records in compliance with State laws. Reports involving specific crimes may be withheld. Generally, releasable reports become available within 10-15 business days.

  • You may request a report via telephone email, or fax.
  • If you are a suspect in a case or an arrestee and currently involved in court proceedings, please contact the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for guidance on acquiring a copy of your report.
