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