No. A local police/sheriffs department is not permitted to charge a flat fee for an accident or incident report. The department is permitted to charge 15 cents ($0.15) per 8 x11 or 8 x14 page, unless a cost analysis has been done to prove that the departments per page cost exceeds 15 cents ($0.15).
