Which Agency Holds a Report from Helotes

Inside Helotes that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Helotes Police Department); outside it, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places six campus police departments and nine other agencies in Bexar County, each with a records office of its own.
The Lytle Police Department and the Schertz Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Bexar County, so their arrests are not broken out for Bexar County here.
