Which Agency Holds a Report from Tecumseh
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 Tecumseh that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Tecumseh Police Department); outside it, the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries District Attorneys Council at Drug Task Force 23 (other agency), with a records office of its own.
The Prague Police Department and the Oklahoma City Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Pottawatomie County, so their arrests are not broken out for Pottawatomie County here.
