Online Police Reports and Records

The Police to Citizen tool (P2C) was developed to make most incidents, arrests, and crash reports occurring after January 1, 2003, available to the public for instant download. If you are the victim of a crime or involved in a vehicle crash, this tool can assist you in obtaining a copy from your home computer.

Search for Case Number

In addition, P2C is a perfect companion to the Community Crime Map and Simplicity.

Using the crime map or SimpliCity, you will see the incident (case) number. Using P2C, you can look for the incident/arrest report associated with this event by searching for the case number and date range. If a publicly available report is accessible, you will be given the option to download a PDF document.

You may also request a police report by:

  • Visiting the Asheville Police Department’s Records Unit located in the lobby of Police Department Headquarters (also referred to as the Municipal Building).
  • Sending your request with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to:
