A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Erie depends on where the incident happened.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Erie
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 Erie that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Erie Police Department); outside it, the Weld County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the University of Northern Colorado (campus police) and Weld County Drug Task Force (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Brighton Police Department, the Northglenn Police Department, the Longmont Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Weld County, so their arrests are not broken out for Weld County here.
