Which Agency Holds a Report from Springfield
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 Springfield that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Springfield Police Department); outside it, the Lane County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Lane County State Police in Lane 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 Lane County Liquor Commission (state agency) and the University of Oregon (campus police), each with a records office of its own.

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 lanecountyor.gov/government/county_departments/county_counsel/publi... (page title: Public Records Request | Lane County).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
