Plymouth, Massachusetts - PoliceReport.info, the privately operated website that helps people obtain police and accident reports, has expanded its service to Indiana. The new guide covers all 974 cities and counties in the state and provides clear instructions for obtaining official crash reports.
“From Indianapolis to small towns along the Ohio River, accidents happen every day,” said Anthony Albert, founder of PoliceReport.info. “We created our Indiana guide to remove the confusion around which agency to contact and which report form to request.”
How Indiana’s Reporting System Works
Crash reports in Indiana are handled by the Indiana State Police or local law enforcement agencies. Officers complete the Form 23558 crash report, also called the Indiana Officer’s Standard Crash Report.
The state’s ARIES electronic system streamlines processing and allows most agencies to file reports electronically. Reports are usually available within three to seven business days, and fees range from five to twelve dollars.
PoliceReport.info connects users to the correct agency and provides links for online or mail requests.
Key Points About the Indiana Report
-
General information page – The first section of Form 23558 records the date, time and location of the crash, the number of vehicles involved and basic roadway conditions. It also captures the investigating agency’s information and case number.
-
Unit pages – Separate pages are completed for each vehicle or unit involved, detailing the driver’s name, address, license number, vehicle make and model, and insurance information. Officers record contributing circumstances for both driver and vehicle, such as speeding, distraction or mechanical issues.
-
Diagram and narrative – A dedicated page allows the officer to draw a diagram of the crash scene and write a narrative explaining how the crash occurred. This combination of illustration and description provides a clear record for insurance companies and courts.
-
ARIES electronic filing – Most agencies now participate in Indiana’s Automated Reporting Information Exchange System (ARIES), which reduces errors and speeds up report processing.
Why Crash Reports Matter
An official crash report is essential for insurance claims, legal actions and personal records. Insurers rely on it to assign fault and calculate payouts. Attorneys use it as evidence in civil cases.
Without a report, you may face delays or disputes that can complicate recovery.
