Which Agency Holds a Report from Sandusky 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 Sandusky County that is the Sandusky 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 the Sandusky County Park District (other agency), with a records office of its own.
