Information Disclaimer:

Knoxville Police Department Reports are not made on every citizen’s call for service. Police calls do not always require criminal investigations or police reports. Many are service calls for police assistance and do not involve a reportable crime.

Knoxville Police Department Police reports may be obtained from the Knoxville Police Department’s Records Bureau. Police Report requests may be made at the Records Counter located in the main lobby of the Police Building at 800 E. Church Street, Knoxville.
