Working with Sheriff’s Office Sworn personnel, administrative staff, courts, citizens, and attorneys, the Records Unit maintains all criminal records for the Sheriff’s Office. It is responsible for entering and updating all warrants, arrests, eviction notices, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) forms, applicant fingerprints, concealed carry permits and accident reports.
Records retention and disposition schedules are developed under the guidance set forth by the Library of Virginia which serve as the basis for properly retaining, disposing, preserving, or transferring records. All reports are verified, checked for accuracy and completion, validated and entered into IBR (Incident Based Reporting). Each month all IBR reports are electronically sent to the Virginia State Police Data System.
