Which Agency Holds a Report from Edgewood

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 Edgewood that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Edgewood Police Department); outside it, the Pierce County Sheriff's Office.

The Auburn Police Department and the Pacific Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Pierce County, so their arrests are not broken out for Pierce County here.
