Which Agency Holds a Report from Laredo
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.
Inside Laredo that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Laredo Police Department); outside it, the Webb County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places three other agencies and two campus police departments in Webb County, each with a records office of its own.
