Plymouth Police Reports

Plymouth Police Department
Records Division
20 Long Pond Road
Plymouth, MA 02360

Each police department handles requests differently. Some allow you to make a request in person, while others require you use an online system. In Plymouth, you can either request a police report in person or through the police department’s online portal.

Keep in mind that a police report contains limited information. If you want to review all the discovery related to your case, you should reach out to a Plymouth County criminal defense lawyer.
