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