Wallowa County, Oregon, has about 7,500 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Wallowa County depends on where the incident happened: the Wallowa County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Oregon Public Records Law requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Wallowa County
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.
In Wallowa County that is the Wallowa County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the Wallowa County State Police in Wallowa 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 Wallowa County Liquor Commission (state agency), with a records office of its own.
