Siskiyou 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 Siskiyou County depends on where the incident happened: the Siskiyou 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 Siskiyou County
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.
In Siskiyou County that is the Siskiyou 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 Yreka and Mount Shasta Area Offices and the Highway Patrol at Dunsmuir Grade Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility in Siskiyou 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 Siskiyou County (other agency) and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection at Siskiyou (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
