Which Agency Holds a Report from Brunswick
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.
Inside Brunswick that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Brunswick Hills Township Police Department); outside it, the Medina County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the Medina County Park District and Medina County Drug Task Force (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Creston Police Department and the Rittman Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Medina County, so their arrests are not broken out for Medina County here.
