Which Agency Holds a Report from Hendersonville
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 Hendersonville that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Hendersonville Police Department); outside it, the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Blue Ridge Community College (campus police), with a records office of its own.
The Saluda Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Henderson County, so its arrests are not broken out for Henderson County here.
