Which Agency Holds a Report from Pooler
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 Pooler that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Pooler Police Department); outside it, the Chatham County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the State Patrol at Savannah in Chatham 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 two campus police departments, one state agency and three other agencies in Chatham County, each with a records office of its own.
