Jasper County, Missouri, has about 126,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Jasper County depends on where the incident happened: the Jasper County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Missouri Sunshine Law requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Jasper County
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.
In Jasper County that is the Jasper County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also carries Missouri Southern State University (campus police) and Ozarks Drug Enforcement Team (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
Reports from the Jasper County Sheriff's Office
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 40 violent and 331 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 271 arrests for 2025.
