Which Agency Holds a Report from Clovis
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 Clovis that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Clovis Police Department); outside it, the Fresno County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol's five offices in Fresno 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 state agencies, two campus police departments and two other agencies in Fresno County, each with a records office of its own.

What the California Public Records Act Requires
Under the California Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 10 days, with up to 14 more days in unusual circumstances, and it may charge the direct cost of copying only, not staff time. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at fresnocountyca.gov/Departments/County-Administrative-Office/Public-... (page title: Public Records Request | County of Fresno).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (916) 445-6713, handles discovery for pending cases.
