Which Agency Holds a Report from Macedonia
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 Macedonia that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Macedonia Police Department); outside it, the Summit County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the University of Akron (campus police) and the Akron Metro Regional Transit Authority (other agency), each with a records office of its own.

What the Ohio Public Records Act Requires
Under the Ohio Public Records Act the agency must answer a request promptly, within a reasonable period of time, and it may charge the actual cost of copying. 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 clerkweb.summitoh.net/public-records-requests (page title: Public Records Requests | Summit County Clerk of Courts).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
