Question

What is a police receipt and why would one need to obtain one?

Answer 1

Very vague question but I am assuming you mean file number, every call has one and you need it if you want a copy of the incident or arrest report.  Usually you can obtain what you need mon-fri during business hours at the local police station.

Answer 2

We need more info.
