911 Calls

If you are in a wreck you probably know that you can go by and pick up a copy of the crash report, generally within a week of the crash, but did you know that you can also request a copy of any 911 calls made regarding your wreck. To do so you should contact the police department which investigated the wreck and find out where the 911 calls are maintained. You would then call that office and ask them how long they are kept, how you can obtain a copy of the calls and how much it will cost. It might be as simple as providing them with a CD to burn the calls onto or just a minimal charge for copying. You should also request the call log as that may provide you with the numbers of the people who called in who could be potential witnesses. You need to do this quickly as most calls are not kept for any significant period of time.
