Which Agency Holds a Report from Cumberland County
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.
In Cumberland County that is the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the Cumberland County State Police in Cumberland 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 Cumberland County (other agency), with a records office of its own.
