Hollywood Personal Injury Referrals
The official municipal identity is the City of Hollywood, Florida. The City’s official About Hollywood page places Hollywood in southeastern Broward County. Florida’s official court site places Broward County in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. This page separates local reporting and records information from a request for a possible attorney introduction. WeGotInjured.com is an attorney referral service, not a law firm; we do not provide legal advice or determine fault, case value, or representation.
Reporting and safety information for Hollywood
For emergencies, the City police page directs callers to 9-1-1. The City lists 954-764-HELP (4357) for police-related non-emergency calls. Hollywood Police says traffic-accident reports are not public record for the first 60 days except for persons entitled under Florida Statute 316.066; an eligible requester must submit a sworn statement. The City provides its online portal and directs users to FloridaCrashPortal.gov, stating a $12 fee and immediate PDF download through that portal. [1]
Records and agency routing in Hollywood
Hollywood Police Records maintains offense, supplemental, accident, arrest, and miscellaneous incident reports and directs requests to the City Public Records Center. Broward County says public-record requests may be submitted online, by phone, in person, mail, or email, but the requester should first confirm the County is the custodian. Broward’s Official Records search does not include many court pleadings or traffic/small-claims pleadings; the County directs users to the Clerk of Courts. The Broward Clerk provides online, in-person, and by-request court-document access and identifies a County Civil South location at 3550 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood. [2]
A useful local distinction in Hollywood
The City describes Hollywood as a roughly 30-square-mile beachfront community with about seven miles of beaches and a nearly 2.5-mile Hollywood Beach Broadwalk used by pedestrians, joggers, bicyclists, and rollerbladers. This supports a factual explanation that roadway incidents may differ from Broadwalk or other public-space incidents; it does not establish accident frequency or liability. [3]
Hollywood injury questions

Explain 9-1-1 for emergencies and the City’s listed non-emergency police number for police-related non-emergency matters. [1]
How can someone request a Hollywood Police traffic-accident report?
Explain the City portal, FloridaCrashPortal.gov, the first-60-days restriction, the sworn-statement requirement for eligible requesters, and the City’s stated $12 state-portal fee. [1]
Who may be able to obtain a traffic-accident report during the first 60 days?
Point to the City’s reference to persons entitled under Florida Statute 316.066 without interpreting eligibility or giving legal advice. [1]
Where can someone look for Broward court records connected with a matter?
Distinguish Broward’s Official Records Public Search from the Broward Clerk’s court-records system, noting that many pleadings and traffic/small-claims filings are not on the County’s Official Records search. [1]
Who keeps a record: the City, Broward County, or the Clerk?
Explain that the likely custodian depends on the record type and agency; Broward County itself advises confirming the custodian before filing a public-records request. [1]
