Police records stay with the agency that made them, such as a city or town police department, a sheriff's office or the state police. What each agency releases, and how fast it answers, differs from place to place.

The Maryland State Police releases criminal investigation and crash reports kept in the state's central repository. Other records are requested under the Maryland Public Information Act.
