Which Agency Holds a Report from Taylor
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 Taylor that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Taylor Police Department); outside it, the Williamson County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places eight other agencies and one campus police department in Williamson County, each with a records office of its own.
The Thorndale Police Department, the Pflugerville Police Department and the Austin Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Williamson County, so their arrests are not broken out for Williamson County here.
