Re: police arrest report

Contact a criminal defense attorney to assist you. Until the police investigation is complete and the report is finalized, you will not be able to get a copy of it from the law enforcement agency. However, once the matter has been closed, you can request a copy of the report and it will more than likely be release to you.
