Which Agency Holds a Report from Nixa
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 Nixa that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Nixa Police Department); outside it, the Christian County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Nixa Schools (other agency), with a records office of its own.
The Springfield Police Department and the Republic Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Christian County, so their arrests are not broken out for Christian County here.
