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