This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Ohio Public Records Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Warren County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Warren County that is the Warren 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 Monroe Police Department, the Middletown Police Department and the Loveland Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Warren County, so their arrests are not broken out for Warren County here.

Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at warrencountyohio.gov/RecordsCenter/Records/RecordsRequest/Index (page title: IndexRecords Center & Archives).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, 513-695-1325, handles discovery for pending cases.
