Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, has about 1.2 million residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Allegheny County depends on where the incident happened: the Allegheny 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 Right-to-Know Law requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Allegheny 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 Allegheny County that is the Allegheny 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 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.
