Which Agency Holds a Report from Pleasant Prairie
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 Pleasant Prairie that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Pleasant Prairie Police Department); outside it, the Kenosha County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the University of Wisconsin at Parkside (campus police), with a records office of its own.
The Genoa City Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Kenosha County, so its arrests are not broken out for Kenosha County here.
