Holmes County, Ohio, has about 45,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Holmes County depends on where the incident happened: the Holmes 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 Holmes 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 Holmes County that is the Holmes 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 Loudonville Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Holmes County, so its arrests are not broken out for Holmes County here.

Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at co.holmes.oh.us/county-home-documents/recorder/930-public-records-r... (page title: Public Records Request Form).
