Canyon County, Idaho, has about 267,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Canyon County depends on where the incident happened: the Canyon 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 Idaho Public 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 Canyon County
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.
In Canyon County that is the Canyon 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.

Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at canyoncounty.id.gov/public-records-request (page title: Public Records Request | Canyon County).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, 208-454-7391, handles discovery for pending cases.
