Ways to Wrangle Your Report:
There are three main paths to take, depending on your level of digital savviness and aversion to snail mail:
Channel Your Inner Internet Guru: The Denver Police Department offers an online portal for requesting records – perfect for those who like their documents with a side of wifi. Be warned, though, not all reports are available online.
Become a Snail Mail Master: Dust off your finest penmanship and head to the post office. You can download a form, fill it out with all the details of the report you crave (date, location, case number, etc.), and send it on its merry way.
Operation Face-to-Face: For those who enjoy a more personal touch, you can always visit the Records Unit in person. Just be prepared to show some valid ID and answer a few questions about the report.
Important Side Note: There may be a fee associated with obtaining your report, so be sure to check the Denver Police Department's website for current pricing.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
Patience is a Virtue (Especially When Dealing With Paperwork)
Remember, these reports aren't exactly hot off the presses. Depending on the method you choose, it could take a few days or even weeks to receive your copy. Don't fret! Breathe deeply, resist the urge to channel your inner detective and raid the police station, and trust the system (mostly).
Here's a helpful tip: If you're in a real time crunch, you can try contacting the Records Unit directly to see if there's an option for expedited service (for an additional fee, of course).
