Williamson County, Tennessee, has about 269,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Williamson County depends on where the incident happened: the Williamson 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 Tennessee Public Records Act 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 Williamson 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 Williamson County that is the Williamson 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 21st 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.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at williamsoncountytn.justfoia.com/publicportal/home/newrequest (page title: Williamson County Government, TN Public Portal | JustFOIA).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney General handles discovery for pending cases.
