Which Agency Holds a Report from Villa Rica
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 Villa Rica that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Villa Rica Police Department); outside it, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the State Patrol at Villa Rica in Carroll County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries the University of West Georgia (campus police), with a records office of its own.
The Bremen Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Carroll County, so its arrests are not broken out for Carroll County here.
