"DR" is just a prefix that can mean "Division of Records" or have some other arcane reference. It only indicates that the number that follows corresponds to some type of case file, as opposed to a booking number, mug shot number, fingerprint record card, or other serialized number a law enforcement agency uses to track records.
By the way, a "case file" can be as massive as that for the Oklahoma City bombing or as little as one page, documenting an officer's response to a complaint of a barking dog. It doesn't imply anything complex.
The prefix isn't universal. I think LAPD uses "DR" as the prefix of a case file, but another agency might call it just a "case number."
