Answer:
This depends on what the public record laws and rules are in regard to this report. Since the incident occurred on your property this may entitle you to the report. Have you asked for a copy? If so, you might contact the department and ask for their Disclosure of Public Records form and make a formal request. They should comply with the request, or state the specific grounds for refusing to provide the report to you.
