Which Agency Holds a Report from Jefferson Hills

Inside Jefferson Hills that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Jefferson Hills Borough Police Department); outside it, the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Allegheny County State Police in Allegheny County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's agency list also places eight other agencies, ten campus police departments and three state agencies in Allegheny County, each with a records office of its own.
The Northern Regional Police Department, the McDonald Borough Police Department and the Trafford Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Allegheny County, so their arrests are not broken out for Allegheny County here.
