Which Agency Holds a Report from Mill Creek
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 Mill Creek that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Mill Creek Police Department); outside it, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force (other agency), with a records office of its own.
The Bothell Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Snohomish County, so its arrests are not broken out for Snohomish County here.
