Incident Report

A.R.S. 39-127 allows the victim, the victim's attorney, or a family member of the victim if the victim is killed or incapacitated of a criminal offense to obtain one copy of an incident report at no charge in which the victim is listed.  

A.R.S. 8-382.20 and 13-4401.19 defines "Victim" as a person against whom the criminal offense has been committed, including a minor, or if the person is killed or incapacitated, the person's spouse, parent, child, grandparent or sibling, any other person related to the person by consanguinity or affinity to the second degree or any other lawful representative of the person, except if that person is in custody for an offense or is the accused. 

If you are not listed as a victim within the report as defined above, a fee for the report will be required.

Incident reports involving aggravated factors require the approval of the case agent or his supervisor prior to its release. 

  • Incidents include, but are not limited to:
  • Homicide
  • Rape / Sexual Assault
  • Robbery
  • Arson
  • Assault (with a weapon and/or requires medical attention)
