What the Alabama Public Records Law Requires
Under the Alabama Public Records Law the agency must answer a request within a reasonable time; the statute sets no fixed deadline, and it may charge a reasonable fee for copies. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (334) 242-4191, handles discovery for pending cases.
