Crisp County, Georgia, has about 19,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Crisp County depends on where the incident happened: the Crisp County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Georgia Open Records Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Crisp County
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.
In Crisp County that is the Crisp County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the State Patrol at Cordele in Crisp County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
