Greene County, Ohio, has about 172,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Greene County depends on where the incident happened: the Greene County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Ohio Public Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Greene 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 Greene County that is the Greene 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 carries Wright State University, Central State University and Wilberforce University (campus police), each with a records office of its own.
The Kettering Police Department and the Centerville Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Greene County, so their arrests are not broken out for Greene County here.

Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at greenecountyohio.gov/1610/Public-Records-Requests (page title: Public Records Requests | Greene County, OH).
