Which Agency Holds a Report from Springville
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
Inside Springville that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Springville Police Department); outside it, the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office.
The Trussville Police Department and the Leeds Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including St. Clair County, so their arrests are not broken out for St. Clair County here.
