Which Agency Holds a Report from Clarksburg
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 Clarksburg that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Clarksburg Police Department); outside it, the Harrison County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Bridgeport State Police in Harrison County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries the Department of Natural Resources in Harrison County and the State Fire Marshal in Harrison County (state agency) and Harrison County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
