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