Reporting and safety information for Yonkers
For a Yonkers crash, distinguish an information exchange from a written police report. The City says a property-damage-only information exchange may result in no report. For written Yonkers accident reports from 2010 forward, the City directs requesters to CrashDocs.org and says availability is typically within 8–10 business days. The City also lists the Yonkers Records Section at 104 South Broadway, weekday hours 9 a.m.–3 p.m., phone 914-377-7232. [2] This is procedural information, not legal advice. [1]
