Option 1: Saddle Up and Head to HQ
Got some wanderlust and a free afternoon? Mosey on down to the SAPD Records office at 315 South Santa Rosa.

Feeling a little more like a couch potato than a maverick? No worries! You can request a report by mail. Here's how to do the hokey pokey and get the report comin' your way:

- Download the Police Report Request Form: This little critter is available online, so you can print it out and fill 'er up.
- Channel your inner scribe: Fill out the form with all the important details, like your name, the date of the incident, and why you need the report.
- Play pretend post office: Stick the form in a self-addressed stamped envelope, along with a money order made out to the City of San Antonio.
- Giddy-up, Pony Express! Mail your request to: San Antonio Police Department Records Office, 315 S. Santa Rosa, San Antonio Texas 78207.
Hold yer horses! Processing times can vary, so be patient, grasshopper.
