The Independence Police Department introduces a new online reporting system for traffic accidents.

 The new system will allow the public to create their own crash reports for non-injury accidents that happen on public streets or private parking lots that occur inside the Independence city limits. Those who are involved in an injury accident, hit-and-run, or DUI must still call I-P-D to report a crash. Accidents reported to the new system are soley for insurance purposes and will not be assigned to an officer for furthur action. You can find the reporting form here.
