Which Agency Holds a Report from Brunswick
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 Brunswick that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Brunswick Police Department); outside it, the Frederick County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Frederick County State Police in Frederick County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The Mount Airy Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Frederick County, so its arrests are not broken out for Frederick County here.
