Which Agency Holds a Report from Key Biscayne
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.

The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol in Miami-Dade County in Miami-Dade County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.

Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at miamidadeclerk.gov/clerk/public-records-requests.page (page title: Public Records Request).
