Services & Resources

Was your bicycle stolen?
The Property & Evidence Section of the Tucson Police Department maintains a bike lot at the Santa Cruz Substation, located at 4410 S. Park Avenue. In order to provide you a chance to look over the bikes that have been turned in to the Tucson Police Department, we open the lot on the first Saturday of each month between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Please call a week before you plan to come in to verify the lot will be open. A member of Property & Evidence can be reached at 520-791-4458.

Do you need to obtain a copy of a police report?
The Records Section is open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on normal business days. The reports on file in the Records Section are considered Public Records and are available through a Public Records Request. Depending on the age of the report or the status of an investigation through the criminal justice system, all or part of the report is available. Public Records requests can be made in person or by mail. To request a copy of a report, you must be able to identify the report by indicating an approximate date and location, the name of an involved person and/or the type of incident you are requesting. Name searches on private individuals are not conducted for citizens. The cost for copies of public records is 25¢ per page.
