This will allow reports to be completed more accurately and in less time than handwritten reports as well as give the ability to transmit crash reports to the State electronically. Additionally, crash reports can now be obtained by involved parties for a minimal fee online at www.buycrash.com. Reports will also be available for pick up at the Sheriff's Office as always.
