Amador County, California, has about 42,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Amador County depends on where the incident happened: the Amador County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. 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 sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Amador County
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.
In Amador County that is the Amador County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol's Oroville, Chico and Amador Area Offices in Amador 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 Amador County (other agency), with a records office of its own.

The California Public Records Act sets the rules: an answer within 10 days, with up to 14 more days in unusual circumstances, at a charge of the direct cost of copying only, not staff time, from the agency that holds the report.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at amadorsheriff.org/administration-division/public-information/record... (page title: Public Information/Records Request).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (209) 223-6444, handles discovery for pending cases.
