Police reports are public records, but only once the police file is closed (usually by arrest).
You can do a Chapter 119 (Public Records) request of the Records Custodian and they will provide you with the report…. ultimately.
Personally, when I want / need them before Arraignment, I usually call the records department first and ask when the reports will be available, inquiring what costs are associated (so I can bring them a check if need be) and what will be the most convenient time for me to show up. All of this essentially assumes that the documents will be turned over. Sometimes it works quickly other times not, but ultimately you are entitled to them unless they are otherwise privileged.
I hope this has been helpful and wish you good luck.
