[edit] Beaufort County Sheriff's Office withholds crime reports

"Incident reports -- summaries of criminal activity that occurs in Beaufort County --are being withheld from public review under a new Sheriff's Office policy that is being inconsistently applied.

Crime reports were not accessible Thursday or Friday at the Hilton Head Island substation and will not be available today or Sunday, according to a Sheriff's Office policy put in place Nov. 3. The new policy states that "incident reports will be available for review during normal office hours" -- 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday."
