Obtaining Police reports about people.

[Jademonkeyhunter]

Good morning you wonderful people! I hope that you are well and happy.

I'm Jonathan and I am looking for some help. I would like to get my hands on a LE (Getting used to the lingo on here!) report about a murder person in Baltimore. How would I be able to get a virtual copy of this, please?

Yours

Jonathan

Did you start a different thread about this case?

Start with the newspaper articles, court records, then call the police dpeartment & ask. You may even find a report number in court records.

Good morning, Laughing! Thanks again for responding. I did yes. This one I was hoping to get a more general view of what I could do. As I am SO green to this, I was hoping that if someone could give me a general view on how to get a police report that this would help my specific inquiry.

Court reports you say? Where would I get them from, please?

In most counties, you can check the clerk of courts web site. They will usually have a link to search for case information. Usually, murders are state offenses and are handled by what most stares refer to as Court of Common Pleas or Common Pleas Court. some states are more difficult than others in providing that info.

If you find the case you’re looking for, it will probably have a case number, which you can use for future reference.

Are there 2 different threads? Combining them would likely speed things up.

There is a newspaper article about the 2 people iirc? Baltimore?

Different posters are familiar with different areas. Someone is likely to have experience with Maryland &/or Baltimore (not me.)
