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 Westmoreland 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 Westmoreland County that is the Westmoreland 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 Westmoreland County State Police in Westmoreland 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, three campus police departments and five state agencies in Westmoreland County, each with a records office of its own.
