Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026. Every office link was opened and checked against the office's own site on September 23, 2026.
Collin County, Texas, has about 1.3 million residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Collin County depends on where the incident happened: the Collin 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 Texas Public Information 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 Collin 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 Collin County that is the Collin 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 agency list also places nine other agencies and one campus police department in Collin County, each with a records office of its own.
The Sachse Police Department, the Garland Police Department, the Richardson Police Department and three more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Collin County, so their arrests are not broken out for Collin County here.
