Accidents and Police Reports

How do I get a copy of my police report or traffic accident?

Go to the Bountiful Police Department, which is located at 805 S. Main in Bountiful. The police department is located on the main level. Talk to someone in the dispatch center and tell them you need a copy of a police report, they will give you a form to fill out; or, print out a copy of the request form. Complete the form and give it back to the dispatcher or fax it to (801) 292-6441. It may take up to ten days to receive the copy of the report. You will need to show current identification and pay $5.00.

Retrieving Property or Evidence

I would like to find out if my bike has been found, or I would like to get my property that has been recovered as stolen or was booked as evidence.

You can contact the evidence unit at (801) 298-6023 for questions concerning found property. If your property has been placed into evidence because of its relevance in a criminal case, it may take more time for you to get your property back. The evidence technician will let you know if your property is available. If you have property you need to pick up, you can call for an appointment.

How Do I Protect Myself from Identity Theft?

What do I do if I am the Victim of Identity Theft?

In most cases if you are a victim of identity theft you will have to contact the State Attorney General's Office for assistance. However, it is a good idea to contact your local police department and, if possible, file a report. An officer will take your report and provide you with an information packet to fill out. If you prefer, you can print the packet from this web site, fill it out, and bring it with you when you file the report.
