Police report

DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
There is usually an arrest affidavit and a DUI citation issued immediately at the time of arrest and these documents are what you most likely obtained from the clerks office. The actual police report is a typed narrative that is prepared subsequent to the initial arrest  and may be several typed pages long. the police report should not contain significantly different information than the arrest affidavit and citation, just more detail. If three are significant differences it could be in your favor at trial as there may be inconsistencies that raise reasonable doubt.

If I got a DWI 8 months ago and haven't gotten any paperwork, what should I do?

I would recommend going to the clerk of court office in the county where this happened. Ask to review the clerks file, in Florida this is a public record. As you indicate you were a juvenile when the event occurred this can take longer to process but eight months is way out of line.
