Overview

The Freedom of Information Law (“FOIL”), Article 6 (Sections 84-90) of the NYS Public Officers Law, provides the public right to access records maintained by government agencies with certain exceptions.

“Record” means any information kept, held, filed, produced or reproduced by, with, or for this agency, in any physical form whatsoever including, but not limited to, reports, statements, examinations, memoranda, opinions, folders, files, books, manuals, pamphlets, forms, papers, designs, drawings, maps, photos, letters, microfilms, computer tapes or disks, rules, regulations or codes.

The Division of State Police, a statewide law enforcement agency mandated by law to prevent and detect crime and to apprehend criminals (Executive Law, Article 11, Section 223), adheres to the principle of the right to privacy for law-abiding people. The Division of State Police must balance the right of citizens to know how their government works with their right to personal privacy. Great care is taken to ensure that records provided are exactly what was requested and are legally releasable.

Please be advised that this agency maintains only those records associated with State Police arrests and investigations; it does not maintain records for any other police or law enforcement agencies, nor does it maintain Criminal History Record Information or court dispositions. Refer to the Helpful Tips section below for details.

Please note that New York State Public Officers Law, Article 4, Section 66-a governs access to certain police investigative reports and records for interested/involved parties. That law is intended to provide reports pertaining to specific incidents to involved persons, parties with a legitimate interest, or representatives of such persons including attorneys and insurance companies. These reports may include accident reconstruction, investigation, and arrest reports.

A copy of a MV-104A Police Accident Report should requested through the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Copies of reports or records other than the MV-104A relevant to investigations by the State Police are maintained by this agency.
Law firms, insurance companies and private investigators representing interested/involved parties seeking photographs pertaining to fatal accident investigations, should contact the appropriate Troop Forensic Investigation Unit (FIU) for these records.

NOTE: If you are the complainant or the victim of an incident being investigated by the State Police, we will provide you, upon request, with a 'Report of Incident Verification' at no charge and without waiting for copies of records. These are useful for insurance processing. The State Police Trooper or Investigator who investigated the incident can provide this document at the time of the incident or you may contact him/her at the State Police station; the station telephone numbers can be found through the 'Contact Us' page on our public website.

All requests must be submitted on agency letterhead, and where appropriate, include assigned authorization for the release of information. All such requests must be e-mailed to GOVTAgencyReq@troopers.ny.gov. Please submit a separate request for each individual you are seeking information on.

FOIL Process

Within five business days of the receipt of a written request for a record reasonably described, we will send you a letter either: making such record available; denying such request in writing; or furnishing a written acknowledgment of the receipt of such request. If you have not received a letter within five business days, please contact us at Foilunit@troopers.ny.gov.

An acknowledgment letter will provide you with an estimate of when the records you request will be available, which shall be reasonable under the circumstances of the request. This date is determined by the number of documents you request, their format, their availability, the time it takes to redact any information that cannot be disclosed pursuant to FOIL, the time it takes to assemble the documents, the number of requests we are currently processing, and other factors.

If the records you request require a fee to be paid, you will be notified prior to the records being released to you. There are fees applied to receiving copies of records pursuant to both Public Officers Law § 87 (FOIL) and Public Officers Law § 66-a.

Unless a different fee is otherwise prescribed by statute, Public Officers Law §87(1) authorizes an agency to charge a fee of 25¢ per page for copies of records up to 9”x 14” in size, or the actual cost of reproducing a record. In determining the actual cost of producing a record, an agency may include only:

an amount equal to the hourly salary attributed to the lowest paid agency employee who has the necessary skill required to prepare the requested record(s), if at least two hours of agency employee time is needed to prepare a copy of the record(s) requested;
the actual cost of the storage devices or media provided to the person making the request in complying with such request; and
the actual cost to the agency of engaging an outside professional service to prepare a copy of a record, but only when an agency's information technology equipment is inadequate to prepare a copy, if such service is used to prepare the copy.

Accordingly, pursuant to Public Officers Law § 87 (FOIL), the following fee schedule is in effect for rec
