- Saves citizens the hassles of driving to the police department, making them easy to view, save, print, and email accident report information.
- Reports are converted to PDF format making them easy to view, save, print, and email.
- Finding a report takes only a few seconds.
- Reports are accessible usually within 96 hours of occurrence, excluding holidays and weekends.

- Clear, high resolution images of each report for optimal viewing and printing.
Appriss charges a nominal convenience fee for this service which is added to the cost of the report. Citizens who do not wish to pay the convenience fee can still come to the police station and pay the normal report fee if they wish.
