• date and time of the accident

• location

• persons involved

• accident number (if known)

The Police Department will respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to any requests for police service. Emergency calls should be made to 911. Non-emergency matters may be handled by calling (270) 932-4202.

Some reports could be taken over the telephone however it is the policy of the Greensburg Police Department for an Officer to respond to the complainant’s location.

You can call (270) 932-4202 to have your home placed on a "watch list". While the Police Department does not have the manpower to watch your home 24 hours a day, the Officers will check on your property as their call loads permit.

Any criminal or suspicious activities that are not emergencies can be reported to the Greensburg Police Department by calling (270) 932-4202.

Officers assess each accident on a case by case basis. Officers make a determination as to the contributing factors in the accident, but they DO NOT determine fault. If you disagree with the final accident report, you should contact the officer to discuss your concerns. The officer has the final say in how the report is written. Who pays for damage and other related costs is a matter which must be determined in civil court and/or between insurance companies. You should contact your insurance agent and/or consult an attorney.

You may file against the other driver for no insurance by going to the Green County Attorney Office located on South Main Street and completing a complaint form against the other driver. All the information you will need is contained in the accident report.
