1. What is the difference between reportable and nonreportable accidents?

• Reportable accidents (DT-4000) are those which either involve a personal injury or have over $1000 worth of damage to one or more vehicles. Green Bay Police Department (GBPD) no longer maintains a database of State of Wisconsin DT4000 accident reports and no longer provides copies of completed state accident report forms to requesters. If the accident was reportable to the state, the Green Bay Police Department will provide you with a Department of Transportation (DOT) document number to submit your request directly to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Visit the DOT website from which you can purchase your crash report. 
• Non-reportable accidents are those without injuries and damage of less than $1000 to each vehicle. If the accident was not reported to the state, the records clerk will reply to your email request and attach the accident report with the information redacted, if required under Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA).

2. When can I obtain my crash report?

• Nonreportable, accident summaries are generally available from the Records Division within four business days.
• Reportable accident reports are generally available on the Department of Transportation (DOT) website within a week.
• Exceptions to these time frames are common, especially in the case of hit-and-run investigations; if your report is not available within an appropriate time frame, please contact the Records Division at 920-448-3329.
