Which Agency Holds a Report from Jasper
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 Jasper that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Jasper Police Department); outside it, the Pickens County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Pickens County Board of Education (other agency), with a records office of its own.
The Nelson Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Pickens County, so its arrests are not broken out for Pickens County here.
