Police reports may only be released to authorized parties and  according to state law. Reports involving certain types of crime (i.e.;  juvenile cases and some sex related crimes) cannot be released to anyone  except district attorneys or law enforcement agencies.   A report  release form, available at the San Bruno Police Department or by  following the link below, must be completed and signed by the requesting  party and submitted at the Police Department front counter.  There is a  $7.50 fee for any copied police report.

For more information, or  to inquire about the status of your report, or to determine if a report  can be released to you, please contact the Records Division at (650)  616-7100 

9-1-1 should be called anytime there is an immediate threat to peoples  safety or property.  If you need to contact the Police Department for a  'cold' incident (something that is not happening currently), or any  non-emergency situation, please use our non-emergency phone number:  (650) 616-7100.  This keeps the 9-1-1 lines clear for those who find  themselves in a true emergency situation.  If you are not sure if what  you are calling for constitutes an emergency, please err on the cautious  side and call 9-1-1.
