Requesting Police Reports

Copies of police reports should be requested by email. Almost all police reports must be reviewed prior to release and are sometimes not immediately available at time of request. Also, some reports may not be releasable or may require extensive redactions. Therefore, requesting in advance via email will ensure timely customer service and not lead to a wasted trip by a requester. 

Reports may also be requested by telephone or in person. We strongly recommend that you call ahead, to maximize your time, as almost all police reports must be reviewed prior to release and therefore may not be immediately available. To process your request, incident numbers are most helpful. We can also research an incident by location, date of incident, officer name or name of involved party.

Accident reports are available on-line by selecting the following link. Accident Reports Now Available.  When entering the accident report case number do not enter dashes, enter zeros in place of the dashes to create a 10 digit case number...for example:  

For case number 16-122 enter 1600000122 or for case number 16-11111 enter 1600011111.

Violations of Town Codes

Town Codes govern a multitude of specific areas of legislation such as parking, blighted buildings, zoning, and alarms.

Citations may be issued for violations of these town codes. Rules for paying these citations are spelled out in the codes. If one feels that these citations were issued in error or that there are mitigating factors, Chapter 91 explains the citation hearing process whereby you would be able to appeal to a citation. An impartial hearing officer would then make a judgment as to your appeal.

Do you have an alarm system? Please keep in mind that false alarms are counted for each location in town, and for more than three in a one year period there will be a charge. This period runs from July 1 through June 30 annually. See Chapter 75 – Alarm Systems for more detail information.

Requests for Permits

Do you need a raffle permit or a peddling or soliciting license? Please file your applications in the records department. We will assure smooth sailing with the state for your raffle permit. See Town Code Chapter 144 for information on obtaining a license for peddler and soliciting.
