Which Agency Holds a Report from Milledgeville
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 Milledgeville that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Milledgeville Police Department); outside it, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the State Patrol at Milledgeville in Baldwin County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Georgia Military College and Georgia College and State University (campus police), each with a records office of its own.
