The Ashland Police Department maintains records that deal with day to day operations. Those day to day records include, but are not limited to: 
 
    1) FR-300 (accident reports for those involved or financially interested parties); 
    2) Traffic Citations; 
    3) Certain Incident Reports; 
    4) Limited Information Regarding Criminal Arrests. 

Any individual can request information. A request for records can be made by U.S. Mail, fax, e-mail, in person, or over the phone. FOIA does not require that your request be in writing, nor do you need to specifically state that you are requesting records under FOIA. If you would like to make a FOIA request in writing, a form can be downloaded by clicking here.
