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