Which Agency Holds a Report from Woodridge
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.
Inside Woodridge that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Woodridge Police Department); outside it, the DuPage County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places two other agencies and two campus police departments in DuPage County, each with a records office of its own.
The Hanover Park Police Department, the St. Charles Police Department, the Bolingbrook Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including DuPage County, so their arrests are not broken out for DuPage County here.
