Published November 29, 2008 11:54 pm - The cost to purchase an accident or police report from the Cullman Police Department just went up. City OKs police report price hike By Trent Moore The Cullman Times The cost to purchase an accident or police report from the Cullman Police Department just went up.
For almost 15 years, the fee for a copy of an accident or police report has been $3 — now that price is set to more than triple. At a recent meeting, the Cullman city council adopted a resolution raising the price of police reports from the current charge of $3 to $10. Cullman Police Chief Kenny Culpepper said the fee has been the same for more than a decade. “It has been approximately 15 years since the fee charged for a copy of an accident report or incident report has been increased,” Culpepper wrote in the official request to the council. Culpepper attributed the need for a price increase to the rising cost to process and supply the reports to the public. “In this space of time, the costs associated with supplies and report processing has greatly increased,” he wrote. The fee hike will also bring the Cullman Police Department’s charge more in line with comparable local cities. “For example, Jasper also charges $10 for a report,” Culpepper said. “The state even charges $15.” Culpepper added that the police department hopes to make reports available online soon, as well. “Hopefully after Jan. 1, you will be able to go online and get them,” he said. “That should be a great convenience to the people.” In other business, the council also approved a bid for concrete and rock for the Cullman Street Department was approved at Monday night’s city council meeting. The supplies should account for the majority of the department’s needs for 2009. “That was part of their annual needs for the year,” Mayor Max Townson said. Good Hope Contractors was approved as the lowest responsible bidder for rock, with a $651,400 pick-up price and $1 million dollar delivery price.
