Crash Report Indiana is run by Poynter & Bucheri, LLC, a law firm. It is not a government website and is not affiliated with any police agency. We don't sell or issue crash reports. We explain where to get yours, for free.
Your crash report is one of the first things an insurance company reads. Here's how to get yours.
Step 1: Figure out which agency wrote it
Look at the slip or card the officer gave you. It could be IMPD (most of Indianapolis), the Indiana State Police (often on interstates), a city or town department, or a county sheriff's office.
Step 2: Get the report
- IMPD: see our IMPD crash report guide (BuyCrash.com or in person, $12).
- Indiana State Police and other agencies: see State Police, sheriff and town reports.
Step 3: Check it for mistakes
How long does a crash report take?
Officers have to finish and file the report before you can get it, so it usually isn't available the same day. Indiana law requires the officer to forward the report within 24 hours after finishing the investigation (IC 9-26-2-2). Timing depends on the agency and how complex the crash was. If you can't find yours yet, check back in a few days or call the agency's records office.
Get your crash report early. It helps you check the facts while they're fresh. Indiana injury claims usually have a two-year deadline, and some are shorter.
Hurt in the crash?
Our fee is 25%* on motor vehicle accident cases. Free consultation.
*The 25% fee applies only to motor vehicle (car, truck, and motorcycle) accident cases settled prior to trial. If there is no recovery, the client owes no fee.

It depends on the agency. Neither IMPD nor State Police publishes a set wait time. The officer has to finish the report and have it approved first, so it may take a few days or longer.
