Which Agency Holds a Report from Pea Ridge
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 Pea Ridge that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Pea Ridge Police Department); outside it, the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the State Park at Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area (state agency), Northwest Arkansas Community College (campus police) and Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Springdale Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Benton County, so its arrests are not broken out for Benton County here.
