Which Agency Holds a Report from Greenfield
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 Greenfield that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Greenfield Police Department); outside it, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office - MA POST Commission.
The FBI's list also places the Franklin County State Police in Franklin County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Greenfield Community College (campus police), with a records office of its own.
