Which Agency Holds a Report from Truckee
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 Truckee that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Truckee Police Department); outside it, the Nevada County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol's Truckee and Grass Valley Area Offices and the Highway Patrol at Donner Pass Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility in Nevada County; a report taken on a state highway by one of them comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Union Pacific Railroad in Nevada 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.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at nevadacountyca.gov/894/Public-Records-Request (page title: Public Records Request | Nevada County, CA).
