Reports about someone other than yourself require a FOIL request to the Town Clerk rather than a counter request at the police department. For your own victim reports, you can typically get copies directly. Accident reports are handled two ways: involved parties can pick up the report for free at the police department, while non-involved parties need to go through the FOIL process.
