In most cases, you can request a copy of your collision report — unless the incident doesn’t meet certain criteria (explained below).

If a crash happens in a parking lot, driveway, or other private property, Burbank Police will not take a report unless:
- Someone was injured or killed,
- The crash involves a hit-and-run,
- There’s a clear violation of a California traffic law.
Accidents on Public Roads or Highways
A collision report will be taken by police if any of the following apply:
- Someone was hurt or killed
- A driver involved asks for a report
- There’s a law violation that may lead to charges (like DUI, hit-and-run, or reckless driving)
