Logan County, West Virginia, has about 31,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Logan County depends on where the incident happened: the Logan County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

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