Which Agency Holds a Report from Claremont
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 Claremont that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Claremont Police Department); outside it, the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Sullivan County State Police in Sullivan County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
