Which Agency Holds a Report from Cambria County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Cambria County that is the Cambria 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 Cambria County State Police in Cambria 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 three other agencies, two campus police departments and four state agencies in Cambria County, each with a records office of its own.
