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