A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from King City depends on where the incident happened. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Oregon Public Records Law requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from King City

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 King City that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as King City Police Department); outside it, the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

The FBI's list also places the Washington County State Police in Washington 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 Washington County Liquor Commission (state agency) and the Hillsboro School District (other agency), each with a records office of its own.

The Portland Police Department and the Lake Oswego Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Washington County, so their arrests are not broken out for Washington County here.
