Which Agency Holds a Report from Beach Park
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.
The FBI lists no reporting agency under the name of Beach Park, and the Lake County Sheriff's Office is the county agency.
The FBI's agency list also places one campus police department and three other agencies in Lake County, each with a records office of its own.
The Barrington Police Department, the Island Lake Police Department, the Fox River Grove Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Lake County, so their arrests are not broken out for Lake County here.
