Floyd County, Georgia, has about 101,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Floyd County depends on where the incident happened: the Floyd 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.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Floyd 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 Floyd County that is the Floyd 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 Rome in Floyd County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Berry College and Georgia Northwestern Technical College (campus police), each with a records office of its own.
