Which Agency Holds a Report from Outagamie County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Outagamie County that is the Outagamie 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 Wrightstown Police Department and the New London Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Outagamie County, so their arrests are not broken out for Outagamie County here.
