Which Agency Holds a Report from Lynbrook
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 Lynbrook that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Lynbrook Village Police Department); outside it, the Nassau County Police Department.
The FBI's list also carries United States Merchant Marine Academy and the Old Westbury State University of New York Police (campus police), each with a records office of its own.

What the Freedom of Information Law Requires
Under the Freedom of Information Law the agency must answer a request within 5 business days, at least with an acknowledgment and a date for the full answer, and it may charge copying at 25 cents a page. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at nassaucountyny.gov/DocumentCenter/View/3761/Foil-Request-Form-2018 (page title: COUNTY OF NASSAU STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC ACCESS TO RECORDS).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
