Do you have a Victim Information Notice from the Chicago Police Department with an R.D. number? We can help you get your police report.
Order your report below 👇🏻If you were the victim of, or involved in, a crime, the Chicago Police Department may have issued you a Victim Information Notice. This one-page document gives you your "R.D number". Sometimes, this document is enough for insurance purposes. Often, it isn't and you need to obtain the full report.
Obtaining the full report can be done in person. But you have to travel to the Central Police Headquarters during their shortened business hours, park, wait in line, fill out multiple forms, wait in more lines, and more. Most people don't have time for this.
We can help. With our convenient service, we will help you get your police report quickly and easily.
We will submit the request for you on your behalf to obtain these kinds of forms:
After we submit the request, the City of Chicago will pull the records and send them to you by mail. This usually takes ~10 business days to obtain to your mailbox.
To submit the request, we will need the following information:
You will enter that information, pay for the report, and we will begin the process.
The Chicago Police Department supports online filing of certain types of incidents. Learn more about online filing: what you can file online through their system, what the process is to get a police report, and how long it takes.
The RD (or R.D.) number can be found at the top right of your Victim Information Notice from the Chicago Police Department. Here is a sample with the location of the RD number circled in red.
Usually 10-14 days. However, it can sometimes take longer.
You can try, however, we don't recommend it. It is possible that CPD refuses to provide you with the information you need. You will not receive a reimbursement in this case.
You certainly can. Information is available on the Chi311 website. We provide this service as a convenience to those who do not feel comfortable mailing.
There are three ways to request your report if you don't live in Chicago, but the incident occurred while you were in Chicago. Learn more here.
