Police reports may be obtained in person at Gwinnett County Police Department Headquarters. Reports are no longer available at police precincts; however, citizens have the convenience of filing reports online.

Copies of police reports are available in person at Police Headquarters located at 770 Hi-Hope Road in Lawrenceville from 8:00am to 4:30pm, Monday - Friday. There is a charge of $0.25 per page for incident reports and a flat $5 charge for accident reports. Copies may also be requested by mail to: Gwinnett County Police Department, Attn: Records, P.O. Box 602 Lawrenceville, GA 30046 (must include case number, name, $3 for incident reports or $5 for accident reports payable by cashier's check to Gwinnett County Police, and self-addressed stamped envelope).

In addition, the department has many options for citizens to file and obtain a police report online. Citizens can access and purchase copies of vehicle collision reports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at www.buycrash.com, an online service provided by the Police Department, Open Portal Solutions, and Georgia DOT.

Citizens may also file certain incidents (Theft by Taking, Entering Auto, Identity Fraud, Criminal Trespass, Criminal Damage, and Theft of Lost or Mislaid Property) without having to wait for an officer's response using an online police reporting system. Residents will be able to print a temporary copy of the report immediately after submitting the report. The report will then be reviewed by police personnel and once approved, the filing person will receive an e-mail with a free copy of the report attached. The report will transfer into the department's record management system and will be investigated the same as if the report had been filed by an officer.

The Gwinnett County Police Department is the only agency in Georgia using this online reporting system. To access the program, visit the Police Department's webpage and select Citizens Online Police Reporting System.
