Which Agency Holds a Report from Pittsburg
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 Pittsburg that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Pittsburg Police Department); outside it, the Crawford County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Pittsburg State University (campus police) and the Kansas Crossing Casino Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
