Which Agency Holds a Report from Pompano Beach
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 Pompano Beach that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Pompano Beach 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.
The FBI's agency list also places three other agencies and six state agencies in Broward County, each with a records office of its own.
