Which Agency Holds a Report from Glassboro

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 Glassboro that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Glassboro Police Department); outside it, the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office.

The FBI's list also places the Gloucester County State Police in Gloucester County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.

The FBI's list also carries Rowan University (campus police) and Prosecutor in Gloucester County (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
