How to get a Tulsa police crash report

If the Tulsa Police Department wrote your report, TPD's published routes are its open-records portal or a mailed request to Tulsa Police Records. If the Oklahoma Highway Patrol or another state agency wrote it, collision reports are requested through Service Oklahoma for $7.00 ($10.00 certified). The first step is knowing which agency investigated.

Step 1: Find out who investigated your crash

The officer at the scene should give you a card or slip with an agency name and a case or report number. If you did not get one, call the non-emergency line of the agency you think responded.

If the crash was investigated by Start here
Tulsa Police Department (city streets inside the City of Tulsa) TPD: Get Open Records/Video and the TPD Public Records Center (ask TPD which route applies to a crash report)
Oklahoma Highway Patrol (TPD says to call the Highway Patrol office nearest you for a crash on a state freeway) Service Oklahoma: Collision Request for Records
Any other agency (county sheriff or another city's police department) That agency (ask it how to request its report)

TPD's non-emergency number is 918-596-9222. In an emergency, call 911 [4]. TPD's own online reporting pages tell people with a crash on a "state Freeway" to "call the Highway Patrol Office nearest you," [4] and say that TPD's online traffic collision report is "NOT for" collisions "on Interstate highways e.g., I-244, I-44, etc." [3]

The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (which includes the Highway Patrol) says on its open-records page that collision reports "must be requested through" [7] Service Oklahoma's Collision Request for Records form "or by calling (405) 522-7000." [7] [7] The DPS Troop S FAQ says "Crash reports are maintained by Records Management under Service Oklahoma." [8] The Service Oklahoma form is requested by mail or in person; it is not an online portal.

Tulsa Police Department: what TPD publishes

Details
Open records portal Tulsa Police Department Public Records Center ("Submit a Request to Tulsa PD") [2]. The City of Tulsa's open-records page links to it as "Tulsa Police Department Open Record Requests" [5]
By mail Complete TPD's request form and mail it to Records Custodian, Tulsa Police Records, P.O. Box 1027, Tulsa, OK 74103 [1]
Phone (918) 596-9286 for questions about records requests [1]
Fees TPD says report-copy fees are authorized by the Open Records Act, the Mayor's Executive Order or a City Ordinance, so a fee can come from more than one source. Its open-records page points to Executive Order 2026-04 (issued July 2026) for standard costs [1] [9]. The order's Appendix B is a general records schedule, not a crash-report price: it lists $0.25 per page for black-and-white paper copies (legal size or smaller) and $0.15 per page for scanned digital copies, plus other charges for color, media and certification [9]. It lists no flat crash-report fee, so call TPD Records at (918) 596-9286 to ask what a report copy will cost before you pay
Walk-in records window TPD's open-records page lists no records-window street address or hours; call (918) 596-9286
How long it takes TPD lists no turnaround time; call (918) 596-9286
What TPD will not do "if a requested record does not already exist, the Records Section does not create a new record to comply with the request and will notify you that no such record exists." [1] Records involving a juvenile are not released

TPD's open-records page describes the Oklahoma Open Records Act process for police records in general. It does not mention "collision reports" by name, so call (918) 596-9286 to confirm which route TPD wants for a copy of a crash report. For a TPD report, ask TPD.

Reporting a minor crash online (TPD)

TPD also runs a Citizens' Online Police Reporting System that lets a driver "submit a traffic collision report and print a copy for your records." [3] It is not for emergencies or injury collisions, collisions on Interstate highways, or collisions outside the City of Tulsa limits. TPD says your report "may not be reviewed for up to 48 hours," [3] that you must provide a valid email address, and that "When your report is processed, a number will be assigned and e-mailed to you." [3] This is for filing a report, not for requesting a copy of one the police already wrote.

Since November 1, 2026, Oklahoma law no longer requires an officer to write a collision report unless injury, death or total property damage reaches $3,000 or more (the figure was $500), and requires none when all parties agree to exchange information and there is no injury, no death and no damage to property other than vehicles [11]. So an officer may not write a report for a minor crash, which is one reason to keep your own notes and photos.

What is usually on a crash report

Crash reports generally list the date, time and location, the people and vehicles involved, insurance information, the officer's description of what happened and any citations issued. Reports can include a diagram and the officer's coding of contributing factors. Contributing-factor boxes are the officer's opinion at the scene; they are not a final decision on fault.

Two different reports: the officer's and yours

Oklahoma also has a separate written report that a driver may have to send to the Department of Public Safety if there was injury, death, or apparent damage over $3,000 (the figure since November 1, 2026) and the matter is not settled within six months (47 O.S. § 10-108). No report is needed when everyone exchanges information and there is no injury, no death and no damage other than to vehicles [10]. See Oklahoma accident reporting requirements.

What if the report has a mistake?

The pages linked here for TPD, Service Oklahoma and DPS don't list a correction procedure for crash reports. What people can do:

  1. Write down exactly what is wrong (name spelling, plate, insurer, a fact in the narrative) and keep your own photos and notes.
  2. Contact the agency that wrote the report (TPD Records at (918) 596-9286, or the responding Highway Patrol troop) and ask how corrections are handled.
  3. Tell your insurer what you believe is inaccurate.

A person who disagrees with an officer's description of fault is a person to ask an attorney about. We cannot advise you on that.

Questions

Can I get a Tulsa crash report online?

TPD runs an online open-records portal, "Submit a Request to Tulsa PD." [2] Service Oklahoma's collision report (for Highway Patrol and other state reports) is requested by mail or in person, not by email. The Service Oklahoma form is not an online portal.

How much does a Tulsa police report cost?

Service Oklahoma's form lists $7.00 per collision report and $3.00 more for a certified copy ($10.00 total). TPD's open-records page does not list a crash-report fee and points to City Executive Order 2026-04. That order's records schedule lists $0.25 per page for black-and-white paper copies and $0.15 per page for scanned digital copies, with no flat crash-report fee [9]. Call TPD Records at (918) 596-9286 to confirm the total before you pay.

How long does a crash report take?

Service Oklahoma says "Collision reports may take up to 30 days to populate in the system." [6] TPD does not list a turnaround time; call (918) 596-9286.

Who can get a copy?

Service Oklahoma's form says "By law, you are only allowed to obtain your own Collision Report." [6] For a report that is not your own, the form asks for a reason (such as a court or insurance purpose) or the driver's written consent. For TPD's own rules on who may get a report copy, call TPD Records at (918) 596-9286.

Do I need the report number?

It helps. The Service Oklahoma form asks for the collision date, city, county and case number, plus the driver's name, driver license number and date of birth.

The state rules

Deadlines, fault and reports for all of Oklahoma are in the Oklahoma reference.
