Plymouth, Massachusetts - October 20, 2025 - PoliceReport.info, the privately owned website that helps people request official police and accident reports, is now live in Alabama. The service provides clear instructions for every one of the 591 cities and counties across the state, making it simple for drivers to access the official Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) forms and local reports.
“Alabama’s highways and rural roads are as diverse as its landscape,” said Anthony Paluzzi, founder of PoliceReport.info. “Our platform was built so anyone—from Birmingham to a small town in the Wiregrass region—can get the correct report without confusion. We take the guesswork out of who to contact and what form to use.”
How Alabama’s Crash Report System Works
Alabama uses a Uniform Traffic Crash Report system statewide with Form AST‑27 for traffic crashes. The ALEA’s central records division processes requests, and most reports are available in three to ten business days. Fees typically range from five to twenty‑five dollars for standard reports. PoliceReport.info directs users to the appropriate agency—whether the crash was handled by the Alabama Highway Patrol or a local police department—and provides links for online or in‑person requests. Online submissions are available for many jurisdictions and are completely secure.
Unique Features of the Alabama Report
The Alabama crash report stands out for several reasons:
-
Codes printed on the form – Unlike other states that require separate code sheets, Alabama embeds the legend directly on the report, reducing the chance of errors. This helps officers complete forms accurately and ensures consistency in data.
-
Truck/Bus supplemental sheet – When a qualifying truck or bus crash involves a fatality, injury, or a vehicle that must be towed, officers use a supplemental form to capture detailed information about vehicle weight, hazardous materials, configuration and motor carrier data. This targeted approach gathers critical information without overburdening officers for minor incidents.
-
Standardised yet flexible – The report combines check‑box codes with narrative and diagrams, so it is both standardised for data analysis and nuanced enough to capture specific details.
Why Crash Reports Matter
An official police report is essential for insurance claims, legal proceedings and personal records. Insurance companies require the report to determine liability and process claims. Courts may demand certified copies for traffic violations or civil cases. Without it, claims can be delayed or denied, and drivers could be vulnerable to future disputes. PoliceReport.info provides step‑by‑step guidance to ensure users have the documentation they need when it matters most.
