Which Agency Holds a Report from Corvallis
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 Corvallis that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Corvallis Police Department); outside it, the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Benton County State Police in Benton County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Oregon State University (campus police) and the Benton County Liquor Commission (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Albany Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Benton County, so its arrests are not broken out for Benton County here.

What the Oregon Public Records Law Requires
Under the Oregon Public Records Law the agency must answer a request within 15 business days where practicable, after acknowledging the request within 5, and it may charge the actual cost of making the record available. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at counsel.bentoncountyor.gov/about/public-records-request (page title: Accessing Public Records from Benton County | Benton County Counsel, Oregon).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
