After the issuance of a traffic collision report, what is the next step?

The appropriate next step after the issuance of a traffic collision report is to forward it to the Traffic Bureau for approval. This process is vital because the Traffic Bureau is responsible for reviewing and verifying the details of the report to ensure accuracy and compliance with department standards. This step allows for proper documentation and analysis, which can be crucial for any follow-up actions, investigations, or legal proceedings that may arise from the incident.

Submitting reports directly to different entities, like the Department of Motor Vehicles or the District Attorney's office, is typically not the immediate next step. Notification of the involved parties may occur, but it usually follows the internal review and approval process by the Traffic Bureau to ensure that all involved parties are provided with the correct and finalized information. This keeps the flow of information organized and ensures all protocols are followed correctly.
