Which Agency Holds a Report from Maricopa
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 Maricopa that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Maricopa Police Department); outside it, the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Central Arizona College (campus police), with a records office of its own.
The Queen Creek Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Pinal County, so its arrests are not broken out for Pinal County here.
