Which Agency Holds a Report from Ozaukee 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 Ozaukee County that is the Ozaukee 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 Bayside Police Department and the Newburg Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Ozaukee County, so their arrests are not broken out for Ozaukee County here.
