Open Records Request

Glynn County Police Department Records and Reports Section 
The Records Section of the Glynn County Police Department keeps all incident and accident/crash reports as well as other department records. The officer completing a police report will give you a card with the report number on it. It is very helpful if you bring this number with you when picking up your report. There is no cost for the first copy to persons involved in the incident / accident.
