Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026. Every office link was opened and checked against the office's own site between September 23, 2026 and September 30, 2026.
Snohomish County, Washington, has about 864,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Snohomish County depends on where the incident happened: the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Public Records Act (RCW 42.56) requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Snohomish County
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.
In Snohomish County that is the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
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.
