Which Agency Holds a Report from Westfield
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 Westfield that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Westfield Police Department); outside it, the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department - MA POST Commission.
The FBI's list also places the Hampden County State Police in Hampden 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 five campus police departments in Hampden County, each with a records office of its own.
