The insurance company is not required to report a hit and run to the police but in most all personal auto policies, the insured is required to report a hit and run to the police before the insurance company will treat the claim as an uninsured motorist claim. This is usually a policy requirement.

The police officer reports the statements and lists his/her observations and evidence at the scene to determine who is at fault in the accident or incident.
