Police Department doesn't issue accident report??

I'm in the process of getting into a CDL program.
I contacted the recruiter today, and everything looks good; background, employment, etc. However, I had an accident (not at fault) from January 2009 in Yonkers, NY driving my own vehicle. The recruiter told me I needed to get an accident report. After finally getting through to records division, I was told that the Yonkers PD does NOT issue an accident report if: a) no one was injured AND b) the vehicles are able to be driven away, not towed.

WHAT?? I have NEVER heard of this before! I don't know what to do. I cannot produce a viable piece of paper if none ever existed! I asked, of course, if I could fill one out now (half-jokingly) and of course too much time has passed, and again, they don't fill them out.
Any suggestions out there?

 

I did pull a MVR, and it does show up (they go back 10 years). I was not ticketed (however the other....let's just say, nepotism may have played a factor).
It doesn't make any sense what so ever.

 

Good idea....I didn't have comp/collision at the time, although I wanted to go after the other driver for the damage. No claim was made against me, and vice-versa.

 

Actually, now that you say that, I believe that is the same for NY. And dealing with Yonkers...ugh. The lady was nice enough to look it all up for me. She didn't want to and started to ramble on how I had to do this-that-and-the-other...It does give me suggestions and things I can go on. Back to Google and see if I can pull the statute as proof and be done with this. Thanks!

***Blue_Knight...same rules apply in NY as they do in NC. Thanks so much!!!
(still confused as to why it would show up on MVR...strange....)

 

well, I did find the form on the DMV website, a "MV-104" I believe. It clearly states that any accident with OVER $1,000 property damage, and/or injuries a report MUST be filled out. Mine did not fall into any of that criteria.
The lady was at fault; made an illegal turn in front of me and I hit her. Probably why she did not go after me or my insurance to get her damage taken care of. Plus, I took many, many pictures of the scene to cover my butt. Now, I realize nothing came of it, but I am asked to "produce". It appears that this "law" is not well known. Sheesh...I didn't even know...LOL
I know I will be able to clear it up. Blue_Knight knocked some of the cob-webs out of my head, so I am sure I will have no problem going forward. If need be, I will talk to a supervisor. I'm a gal who knows how to get things done! And thanks to all of you for your help.
