Which Agency Holds a Report from Plano
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.
Inside Plano that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Plano Police Department); outside it, the Kendall County Sheriff's Office.
The Joliet Police Department, the Plainfield Police Department, the Sandwich Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Kendall County, so their arrests are not broken out for Kendall County here.

What the Illinois Freedom of Information Act Requires
Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act the agency must answer a request within 5 business days, with one 5-day extension, and it may charge copying only after the first 50 pages. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at kendallcountyil.govqa.us/WEBAPP/_rs/(S(ja4m2xhguqvbfnn2wkhgeh00))/s... (page title: KENDALL COUNTY ILLINOIS PUBLIC RECORDS CENTER).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the State's Attorney, 630-553-4157, handles discovery for pending cases.
