Solano County, California, has about 455,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Solano County depends on where the incident happened: the Solano 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 Solano 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 Solano County that is the Solano 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 Solano Area Office, the Highway Patrol at Cordelia Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility and the Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division in Solano 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 Solano County (other agency) and California State Polytechnic University at Solano (campus police), each with a records office of its own.
