Accident Reports

Accident records fall under the Driver Privacy Act, NH RSA 260:14, and are therefore not considered a public record.    Pursuant to NH RSA 264:25 and RSA 264:26, accident reports will only be released to an owner, operator, or passenger of a vehicle involved in said accident, pedestrian hit by a vehicle in said accident, owner of property damaged in said accident, the insurance company of any of the foregoing parties, or the authorized legal representative of any of the aforementioned. Accident reports can be requested in the same manner as listed above for FOIA/General Records Requests.  Please use the form and process listed above, a minimum fee of $10.00 is also required for copies of accident reports.  Generally, if you are insured, your insurance company can request a copy of the accident report for you.

Requests for Discovery

Discovery requests apply to individuals who have been arrested or formally charged with a violation or crime by the Conway Police Department.  A Defendant, or his/her Attorney, can request discovery at any point after arrest when the necessary reports are complete and approved by a supervisor.  If you have been charged with a violation level offense or higher by the Conway Police Department, with the exception of felony level offenses, you can request a copy of your arrest records at no cost to assist in your defense.  The form for discovery requests is available by clicking here.  All felony level offenses brought against a Defendant by the Conway Police Department are handled by the Carroll County Attorney's Office.  If you are the defendant of a felony level case from the Conway Police Department please direct all discovery requests to the Carroll County Attorney Office.
