This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Tennessee Public Records Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Greene 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 Greene County that is the Greene 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 carries Drug Task Force's 3rd Judicial District (other agency), with a records office of its own.

What the Tennessee Public Records Act Requires
Under the Tennessee Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 7 business days, and it may charge copying, and labor after the first hour. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney General handles discovery for pending cases.
