How do I use the number I was given when I filed a police report and how long do I have to wait after filing the report?

The report number, or control number, is the assigned number reference an incident that was documented or investigated by the City of Fort Wayne Police Department. Depending on the nature of the incident - be it an automobile accident or battery report - you could use that number to request a copy of the report or to follow-up on the investigation with the assigned detective if necessary. Generally, you would have to wait for at least twenty-four hours before making a request for a copy of the report.

are police reports available on line? non accident.

No, police reports are not available online. If you desire a copy of a police report, you would have to appear in person at the police desk at the police headquarters, and provide your state-issued identification, and there would be a fee involved. The fee is based on the length of the report, or the number of pages.
