Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, has about 879,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Montgomery County depends on where the incident happened: the Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery County that is the Montgomery 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 Skippack State Police in Montgomery 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 Montgomery County, each with a records office of its own.
