LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lakeport Police Department has partnered with Carfax to provide electronic copies of accident reports at crashdocs.org.

Citizens involved in reportable traffic collisions in the city of Lakeport will soon be able to save time by obtaining traffic collision reports online with only the case number, date of the accident and their name rather than visiting the police department. However, getting them from the police station remains an option.

“We’re always looking for ways to better serve our community and partnering with Carfax will allow us to offer an easier, more convenient way to obtain our department’s completed accident reports,” Lakeport Police said in its announcement.

In addition to the new accident report distribution platform provided by Carfax, Lakeport Police officers will also have access to a wide variety of Carfax investigative resources to help combat crime more efficiently and effectively.

Extensive vehicle information can be invaluable in uncovering new leads and solving a wide variety of crimes.

This partnership will ultimately help the Lakeport Police Department close more cases and keep our community safer.

Reports will now be available to citizens 24/7 even if the front lobby is closed for the day.

“The Lakeport Police Department is committed to serving our community as efficiently as possible and we look forward to being better able to serve our community through our partnership with Carfax,” the agency said.
