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.
