Any person desiring to inspect a report of investigation made by the Police Department, or officers or members thereof, of automobile or other accidents shall present a written request, in duplicate, to the Police Commissioner at his office during regular office hours. Such request, if made by a person concerned in the accident, shall be made on a form prescribed by the Police Commissioner and shall be signed by such person and executed before a notary public or commissioner of deeds. If the request is made by a representative or attorney at law on behalf of a person concerned in an accident, such request shall include an authorization on a form prescribed by the Police Commissioner and shall be signed by the person injured, the parent or guardian of such person (in case of a minor), the executor or administrator of the estate (in case of death) or the defendant or a person who may become a defendant in an action and executed before a notary public or commissioner of deeds.
[Amended 2-23-1971 by G.O. No. 9-1971]
If, after the filing of such request, investigation shows that the applicant is entitled to inspect such record, he may do so at a time and place to be fixed by the Police Commissioner. If investigation shows that the applicant is not entitled by law to inspect such record or if there is no record, the applicant will be so advised. If a photostatic copy of the record is requested, such copy shall be furnished to the applicant upon payment of whatever fee is set forth in a schedule of fees established by the Police Commissioner with the consent of the Mayor.
