RPD lists Accident/Records at the City Public Safety Building, 185 Exchange Boulevard, Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m., phone 585-428-7493. Involved parties may obtain accident-report copies in person for $0.25 per copied page or through the online route listed by RPD; insurance companies may obtain copies online for a fee.

Records and agency routing in Rochester
The City says it maintains City-government and City-police records, not records of suburbs, towns, Monroe County, New York State, the federal government, or other municipalities. A requester should identify where the incident occurred and use the relevant agency; the City may refer requests when it does not maintain the record. For court-location context, Monroe County Supreme & County Court is at 99 Exchange Blvd., Hall of Justice, Rochester, NY 14614. [2]
A useful local distinction in Rochester
Monroe County's official 911 incident page displays live-style entries, including Rochester motor-vehicle-accident entries, but expressly says the page is not an avenue to obtain police reports, is not for statistical analysis, and is not archived. A public incident listing should not be treated as a complete historical accident record. [3]
Rochester injury questions
Where can an involved person request a Rochester Police accident-report copy?
Explain the RPD Accident/Records location, hours, phone number, in-person availability, page-copy fee, and the online route listed by RPD. [3]
Who should someone contact for an accident report outside the City of Rochester but within Monroe County?
Explain that the custodian depends on the incident location and that Monroe County’s FOIL page directs county-limit motor-vehicle accident-report requests to the Sheriff’s resources, while City police records are handled through the City. [5]
Can anyone obtain a Rochester accident report?
State only the procedure published by RPD: involved parties have the listed access routes; others must use the City FOIL process. Do not speculate about disclosure results or legal entitlement. [3]
Is the Monroe County 911 incident page an accident-report archive?
No. The county says it is a hazard and traffic-avoidance warning system, is not an avenue to obtain police reports, and is not archived. [4]
Why might a records request be redirected?
The City says it maintains City-government records, not county, town, village, state, federal, or other-municipality records, and may refer requesters to the appropriate agency. [6]
