How to Get an Accident Report from Camarillo Police

An accident on a busy road in and around Camarillo can leave you in need of help paying for your car damage and perhaps even some medical bills after an injury. To file an accident claim with an at-fault driver’s car insurance provider, you may need a Camarillo police collision report in hand. This report can help demonstrate that you weren’t to blame and that you should be receiving compensation.

Securing a Camarillo CA Collision Report After a Traffic Accident

If a Camarillo police officer responds to your accident, you will actually be contacting the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office to secure your accident report. That’s because Camarillo contracts out police services to Ventura County.

When you request your collision report, it’ll help if you have some basic information about your crash. The officer may give you an accident report number that you should keep handy. The date and location of your accident will also help.

You should wait several days after an accident to make your request to make sure an investigating officer has time to complete an accident report and submit it. There will likely be a small fee for your report and you may need to submit return postage on some requests. Check with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Public Records Office about what you should include. (phone number below)
