This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Right-to-Know Law requires of it.

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