Which Agency Holds a Report from Blair 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 Blair County that is the Blair 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 Blair County State Police in Blair 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 one campus police department, three state agencies and one other agency in Blair County, each with a records office of its own.
