Start with the crash-report lookup
Dayton's Submit page has a Police Crash Report Request link for looking up crash reports online. It lists filing a new police report and making a public records request separately. Choose the crash-report lookup when you want a copy of an existing collision report.
Dayton: crash-report lookup and request optionsThe state lookup is not the official record
Ohio's lookup provides copies submitted for statistical use, not official documents. Reports can take up to six weeks to appear. For the official report, diagram or supplemental information, contact the investigating agency. If Dayton Police investigated your crash, use its Records Bureau rather than relying on the state download as the complete official report.
Ohio Department of Public Safety: lookup limitationsNeed the witness statements too?
Dayton directs requests for crash witness statements to witness@daytonohio.gov and requires the report number. The city also says you can obtain a complete crash report with witness statements by visiting the Police Department Records Bureau at 335 W. Third Street. Check whether your downloaded copy contains the statements you need before making a separate request.
