Which Agency Holds a Report from Tucson
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 Tucson that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Tucson Police Department); outside it, the Pima County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the Tucson Airport Authority (other agency) and the University of Arizona and Pima Community College (campus police), each with a records office of its own.
