While the officer on the scene will fill out the report, GEICO suggests you collect a few key pieces of information about the report.
  
  

Officer's Name

• Write down the full name of the police officer who writes your accident report. You may want to note his badge number as well.
  
  

Phone Number

• Record the officer's work phone number, including area code and any extension.
  
  

Report Number

• Record the number of the police report. Your GEICO agent will use this number to follow up with the police officer involved.
