Which Agency Holds a Report from Shoreview
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.
The FBI lists no reporting agency under the name of Shoreview, and the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office is the county agency.
The FBI's list also places the State Patrol at Oakdale in Ramsey County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries the Capitol Security, St. Paul and the Minnesota State Fair Police (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Spring Lake Park Police Department and the St. Anthony Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Ramsey County, so their arrests are not broken out for Ramsey County here.

What the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act Requires
Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act the agency must answer a request promptly, within a reasonable time, and it may charge copying, and staff time for requests over 100 pages. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
