Arkansas created a new online service that allows people to obtain crash reports.

Citizens are now able to search the state's online crash record database using a driver's name, the county in which the crash occurred, or the date of the crash. Once the record has been located, the full report can be purchased online for instant viewing or printing for $12 per record. The service accepts Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit cards payments, which are processed through Arkansas.gov's secure payment server.

The Arkansas State Police is responsible for maintaining a repository of all crash records prepared by certified Arkansas law enforcement agencies. More than 80,000 crash reports are submitted to the state police repository each year.

The current online record repository dates back to January 2000. Individuals searching for crash records that pre-date the online repository should contact the Arkansas State Police Crash Records Section.

The online service is a cooperative effort of the Arkansas State Police and the Information Network of Arkansas.
