Union is the most populous town in Broome County. The villages of Johnson City and Endicott each have their own village courts too. Make sure you know which court handled a case before requesting records. Village courts are separate from the Union Town Court, even though all three are within the town's borders.
Broome County borders Tioga County to the south and Chenango County to the north. If an arrest happened near the border, the wrong county's agency might have been involved. When in doubt, check with the Broome County Sheriff first. They will know if the arrest was theirs or if it went to a different jurisdiction.
