Which Agency Holds a Report from McComb
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 McComb that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as McComb Police Department); outside it, the Pike County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Southwest Mississippi Community College (campus police), with a records office of its own.
