The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is pleased to announce the launch of our On-line TrafficCollision Report Program. This new program will reduce time and inconvenience for individualsinvolved in traffic accidents by allowing them to obtain their accident reports, free of charge, via ourwebsite at: http://www.ocsd.org.
Traffic accident reports dated September 15, 2008 or later will be made available on-line for up tothree years from the date of incident, provided they do not involve serious injuries or fatalities,criminal offenses, or other protected or otherwise confidential information.
While we realize the importance of making these reports available on-line to better serve the generalpublic, we recognize the importance of safeguarding report information from unauthorized disclosure.For this reason, the accident reports will be stored on our agency’s server, which is protected byfirewalls. The program will require requesters to declare that they have a proper interest in obtaining acopy of the traffic report, in accordance with Vehicle Code section 20012, and an internal audit trailwill capture the information submitted by requesters, including their IP addresses.
Reports will still be made available upon request through our Records Bureau at: (714) 834-6454,during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
