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