Which Agency Holds a Report from Evans
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 Evans that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Evans 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.
