Police reports are public documents, but that does not mean that names and addresses of witnesses are available. It depends on what the police department in your town chooses to make available. What is always available is a list of crimes and locations; some police departments will divulge names of suspects and victims except in sex cases. Names of witnesses are rarely disclosed; they are usually on a supplemental report.
Call your local police department; they'll tell you what their disclosure rules are.
