Which Agency Holds a Report from New Smyrna Beach
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 New Smyrna Beach that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as New Smyrna Beach Police Department); outside it, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol in Volusia County in Volusia County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's agency list also places one other agency and five state agencies in Volusia County, each with a records office of its own.
The Flagler Beach Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Volusia County, so its arrests are not broken out for Volusia County here.
