Which Agency Holds a Report from Louisburg
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 Louisburg that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Louisburg Police Department); outside it, the Miami County Sheriff's Office.
The Spring Hill Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Miami County, so its arrests are not broken out for Miami County here.
