Which Agency Holds a Report from Cedar City
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 Cedar City that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Cedar City Police Department); outside it, the Iron County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Southern Utah University (campus police) and Iron, Garfield, Beaver Task Force (other agency), each with a records office of its own.

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