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