The days of  general public access to on line crash reports are done as
PD has restricted access.  They are in the process of changing their
procedures so that eventually people will have to know the name of the
insurance company and the document number in order to get the reports on
line.
 
Putting the reports on line was set up as a way to make life easier for
PD staff as well as the parties directly involved.  There are about
5,000 reported crashes each year. If you figure at least two interested
parties per crash that's a lot of inquiries, copying and mailing for PD
staff.  What they found is that some attorneys were practicing a high
tech version of ambulance chasing by checking the reports and calling
people involved looking for business.  This understandably irritated a
lot of folks hence the restrictions.
