Due Diligence Police Reports?

Does anyone routinely get police reports on a multifamily property during due diligence? I wish I had on a recently purchased one in Des Moines. I knew it was going to need $ put into it and some weeding out of marginal characters but was surprised when I found out there were 391 police calls there last year and 112 thus far this year. It's going to take more than I expected to turn this place around. Lesson learned.

@Rick Mapes I bought a couple small mulit families in march and found out that the police had been called there on one tenant a handful of times in 2019.  I simply went down to the polk county court house and they printed me off all of the police reports to that address and it cost me a $5.
