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