Which Agency Holds a Report from Newberg
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 Newberg that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Newberg-Dundee Police Department); outside it, the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Yamhill County State Police in Yamhill 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 Yamhill County Liquor Commission (state agency), with a records office of its own.
The Gaston Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Yamhill County, so its arrests are not broken out for Yamhill 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.
