Do you need a Collision Report?

Collision reports are stored electronically in a secure database and available for purchase at Crashdocs.

Do you need an Arrest History or Clearance Letter?

Letters documenting an individual's arrest history with the Tucson Police Department are available to that person or a representative. Requests for this service must be made by mail.

  1. Supply a copy of a government-issued picture ID or birth certificate with the request. The requester’s signature must be notarized.
  2. Include your full name, any former/maiden names, and your date of birth on the request.
  3. Indicate whether you need the letter notarized.

The charge is $5.00 for three copies of the letter.

Please Note:
Due to high volume, we are unable to process arrest history and clearance letter requests immediately. Every effort will be made to complete requests within fifteen business days of receiving a written request. Thank you for your patience.
