Which Agency Holds a Report from Providence Village
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.
The FBI lists no reporting agency under the name of Providence Village, and the Denton County Sheriff's Office is the county agency.
The FBI's agency list also places 12 other agencies and two campus police departments in Denton County, each with a records office of its own.
The Celina Police Department, the Prosper Police Department, the Plano Police Department and five more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Denton County, so their arrests are not broken out for Denton County here.

The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
