Which Agency Holds a Report from Lake Hallie
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 Lake Hallie that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Lake Hallie Police Department); outside it, the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office.
The Eau Claire Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Chippewa County, so its arrests are not broken out for Chippewa County here.
