The Collision Reporting Centre is located within the Brantford Police Service, adjacent to the front lobby. The Collision Reporting Centre provides assistance to persons who experience a loss due to a motor vehicle collision and ensures that the insurance industry is involved from the beginning.

The Highway Traffic Act requires that all collisions where persons are injured, where damage exceeds a combined value of $2,000 or where there is damage to highway property, MUST be reported to the police.
