Which Agency Holds a Report from St. George
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 St. George that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as St. George Police Department); outside it, the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Utah Tech University (campus police), with a records office of its own.

What the Government Records Access and Management Act Requires
Under the Government Records Access and Management Act the agency must answer a request within 10 business days, or 5 when the request is expedited, and it may charge copying and staff time after the first quarter hour. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at washco.utah.gov/departments/clerk/grama-records-request (page title: GRAMA Records Request | Washington County of Utah).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, (435) 301-7100, handles discovery for pending cases.
