Which Agency Holds a Report from Astoria
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.
Inside Astoria that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Astoria Police Department); outside it, the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Clatsop County State Police in Clatsop County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries the Clatsop County Liquor Commission (state agency), with a records office of its own.
