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 Ohio State Highway Patrol keeps crash reports and photos of the crashes it investigated for five years. BCI, part of the Attorney General's office, runs fingerprint background checks.
