Grayson County, Kentucky, has about 27,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Grayson County depends on where the incident happened: the Grayson County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Kentucky Open Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Grayson County
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.
In Grayson County that is the Grayson 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.

Under the Kentucky Open Records Act the agency must answer a request within 5 business days, and it may charge the actual cost of copying, 10 cents a page for standard copies. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Commonwealth's Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
