Which Agency Holds a Report from Beaumont
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Beaumont that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Beaumont Police Department); outside it, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol's seven offices in Riverside County; a report taken on a state highway by one of them comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's agency list also places three campus police departments, two state agencies and one other agency in Riverside County, each with a records office of its own.
