Which Agency Holds a Report from Valley Center
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 Valley Center that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Valley Center Police Department); outside it, the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places one campus police department, two other agencies and one state agency in Sedgwick County, each with a records office of its own.
The Sedgwick Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Sedgwick County, so its arrests are not broken out for Sedgwick County here.
