Which Agency Holds a Report from Auburn Hills
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 Auburn Hills that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Auburn Hills Police Department); outside it, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Oakland County State Police in Oakland County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Oakland University and Oakland Community College (campus police) and the Kensington Metropark Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Fenton Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Oakland County, so its arrests are not broken out for Oakland County here.
