Traffic Complaints

Speeding vehicles are a concern to the citizens of Sammamish and to the Sammamish Police Department.

To report a police matter such as a parking/ traffic complaint or any non-emergency incident, please contact our 24-hour communications center.  The phone number is 206-296-3311.  Another option is to use the online reporting system at Traffic Complaint Reporting - King County   (do not use online reporting for emergencies or crimes in progress). 

 If there is an emergency, please call 9-1-1.

Upon routing to and review by a Sergeant, the complaint will be assigned out to one or more officers for follow-up (generally over a thirty day period) for speed enforcement emphasis.

Please note: our patrol officers will make every attempt to work traffic-related complaints between dispatched calls for service from the 9-1-1 communications center. Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of calls received, complaints may be open for several months due to limited manpower).

Collision Reports

No one wants to be involved in a traffic collision.

However, if you are involved in one, call 9-1-1 for a police response.

If your collision is NOT investigated by a police officer or sheriff’s deputy, AND if there are injuries or the total damages exceed $1,000, you need to complete a State of Washington Vehicle Collision Report within 24 hours. 

Report forms are available at all King County Sheriff’s Office locations, from any other police station, and online.

Remember: If the police complete a written report, you will only need to contact your insurance company.

If you are seeking a copy of a police report regarding a traffic collision that you were involved in, you can request a copy online. 

You will be asked to provide specific information, such as a case number or (if you do not have a case number) information such as the date and time of the accident, the location, and names of individuals involved. 

Copies of reports may not be available until two weeks after the accident has occurred.
