Which Agency Holds a Report from Lighthouse Point
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 Lighthouse Point that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Lighthouse Point Police Department); outside it, the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol in Broward County in Broward County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
