Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026.
Morgan County, Missouri, has about 22,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Morgan County depends on where the incident happened: the Morgan 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 Morgan 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 Morgan County that is the Morgan 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 Sunrise Beach Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Morgan County, so its arrests are not broken out for Morgan County here.
