Which Agency Holds a Report from Attleboro
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 Attleboro that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Attleboro Police Department); outside it, the Bristol County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Bristol County State Police in Bristol County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's agency list also places four campus police departments and one state agency in Bristol County, each with a records office of its own.
