Which Agency Holds a Report from Davison
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 Davison that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Davison Police Department); outside it, the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Genesee County State Police in Genesee 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 two campus police departments and two other agencies in Genesee County, each with a records office of its own.
The Lennon Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Genesee County, so its arrests are not broken out for Genesee County here.
