Which Agency Holds a Report from Warrenton
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 Warrenton that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Warrenton Police Department); outside it, the Warren County Sheriff's Office.
The Foristell Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Warren County, so its arrests are not broken out for Warren County here.
