How do I get a police report after an accident in Atlanta?

If Atlanta Police Department (APD) officers responded to your accident, you can obtain the official police report through these channels:

• Online: Visit the Atlanta Police Department’s online records portal at atlantapd.org to request crash reports electronically. A fee typically applies.
• In person: Visit the APD Records Unit at 226 Peachtree Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30303.
• LexisNexis / Blue Team portal: Georgia uses a centralized crash reporting system. Many reports are also accessible through the Georgia Department of Transportation’s DRIVE system.
• Your attorney: Once retained, a personal injury law firm can obtain the report on your behalf and review it for errors — incorrect fault designations, missing witnesses, or inaccurate descriptions — that can be formally disputed.

If your accident occurred in another Atlanta metro jurisdiction (DeKalb County, Cobb County, Gwinnett County, etc.), the relevant county Sheriff’s Office or local police department handles the report.
