About this guide

Corcoran, California, in Kings County, has about 23,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Corcoran depends on where the incident happened. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the California Public Records Act requires of it.

This guide covers which agency, the city's records page, the sheriff's reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Corcoran

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 Corcoran that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Corcoran Police Department); outside it, the Kings County Sheriff's Office.

The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol's Hanford Area Office in Kings County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.

The FBI's list also carries Union Pacific Railroad in Kings County (other agency), 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.

A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (559) 852-2392, handles discovery for pending cases.
