Which Agency Holds a Report from Hendricks 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 Hendricks County that is the Hendricks 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 carries Brownsburg Community School (other agency), with a records office of its own.
