After an injury in Millcreek, knowing which office holds a record can save frustration. The police report, a property incident report and a city record are different documents, and they may come from different places.
Nuttall Brown & Coutts helps injured people in Millcreek pursue supported personal injury claims. Our office is at 6925 Union Park Center, Suite 210, Cottonwood Heights, UT 84047. An attorney handles accepted cases from the first consultation through resolution.

Police records are not requested through Millcreek’s ordinary city-records form
Millcreek’s official records guidance directs requests for police records to the service provider. Its city-records form specifically states that Millcreek does not maintain UPD police records.
If Unified Police Department investigated your collision, start with UPD’s records process. If another agency investigated, confirm that agency before submitting a request. Keep the report number, date and location, and follow the agency’s current identification and access requirements.
The local-resource links below can help you find the correct starting point. You do not need the finished report before asking us about the injury claim.
Be precise about where the injury happened
A nearby business name, mailing address or station name does not always identify the exact site of a collision. UTA, for example, lists the rail station named Millcreek in South Salt Lake. A station name alone should not determine which city or agency you put on a records request.
Save the exact address, intersection, direction of travel or map location. For a parking-lot or property injury, note the entrance, walkway or area involved. This detail can help identify the investigating agency and the parties who may control the location.
What a report may leave unanswered
A scene report may not capture a symptom that became apparent later, a witness who left before officers arrived or video held by a nearby business. The report also may not identify every applicable insurance policy.
Preserve what you have independently:
- Original photos and available video.
- Witness names and contact details.
- Insurance letters and recorded-statement requests.
- Treatment records, referrals and work restrictions.
- The names of businesses or people notified about the incident.
If you believe the report contains an error, tell us what is wrong and what information supports your account. Avoid trying to resolve a disputed fact by guessing in a second recorded interview.
Claims involving public property or a public vehicle
An injury involving a public sidewalk, public facility or government vehicle may require a review of responsibility and separate notice rules. An incident report or a records request is not necessarily a legally sufficient notice of claim.
Tell us about any possible city, county, UTA, UDOT or other public involvement at the first conversation. We can identify which dates and documents need attention; a general webpage cannot determine your deadline.
What kinds of Millcreek injury matters can we review?
We review crashes involving cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians, along with premises, dog-bite and wrongful-death matters when the facts support the claim.
Different incidents call for different evidence. A vehicle collision may require an analysis of movement and coverage. A property injury may require an examination of control, maintenance and notice of the condition. We can explain the questions relevant to your situation.
