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

What the Open Public Records Act Requires
Under the Open Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 7 business days, and it may charge copying at 5 cents a page for letter size. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at oceancountyhealth.gov/request-for-public-records (page title: Ocean County Health Department | Request for Public Records | Ocean County Health Department).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Prosecutor handles discovery for pending cases.
