This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Wyoming 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 Wyoming County that is the Wyoming 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 Jesse State Police in Wyoming 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 State Fire Marshal in Wyoming County and the Department of Natural Resources in Wyoming County (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
