Which Agency Holds a Report from Fort Valley
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 Fort Valley that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Fort Valley Police Department); outside it, the Peach County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Fort Valley State University (campus police), with a records office of its own.
The Warner Robins Police Department and the Perry Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Peach County, so their arrests are not broken out for Peach County here.
