Which Agency Holds a Report from Webster
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 Webster that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Webster Town and Village Police Department); outside it, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the Brockport State University of New York Police (campus police), with a records office of its own.
