For a copy of a report for any other type of police incident you were involved in, regardless of the jurisdiction, please email us at OPT_FOIA@nps.gov If you are seeking information about a police incident you were not directly involved in, please visit www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia. For National Park Service information requests not related to law enforcement, please visit https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia/index.htm.

U.S. Park Police FOIA Library

FOIA Libraries contain records that are required to be made available to the public under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2), as well as other records that the Department (or one of its subparts) discretionarily makes available to the public for inspection and copying. We will be posting an electronic U.S. Park Police FOIA Library on this site in the near future.
