County accident reports now online

Posted

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and Nassau County Police Commissioner Tom Dale today announced an initiative that makes life a little easier for people who are involved in traffic accidents. Rather than having to travel to police headquarters or to a local police precinct to pick up a traffic accident report, people can now access a copy of their report on the Internet at www.pdcn.org.

  “This simple but smart initiative makes life a little bit easier for residents involved in an automobile accident,” said Mangano. “With a 10-day window in which to notify your insurance company after an accident, it can sometimes be difficult to travel to a police precinct for a copy of the report. With this online system, your accident report is at your fingertips.”

  Research indicates that the most common instance for residents visiting a police precinct is to obtain an accident report, said Mangano, and accordingly has directed the Nassau County Police Department to make accident reports available on the Internet to assist residents. These reports can still be obtained in person at police headquarters in Mineola, as well as police precincts and policing centers.
