How To Get A Free Copy Of Virginia Police Records Online


by Ben Kingsley


The law enforcing agencies of a state are responsible for issuing police reports to individuals who does not follow the laws of the state or the nation. Virginia Police records are open to the local public. This means that any resident of Virginia can request for a copy of a police record whenever that it is needed.

One of the most common reasons why police records are being requested in Virginia is to conduct a background check. This is mostly done by employers. They regularly check on the criminal history of their people to make sure that the ones who work for them have clean background. This can help prevent problems from arising in the future. The local residents themselves would refer to the police records of the people around them to verify their identity. They do this especially when they have new neighbors, potential business partners, caretakers and even the records of their friends and relatives are also being checked. This helps them to feel secured and safe in their neighborhood.

A police report would show the crime and offenses that the individual has been reported for. One would know whether the person has been charged or not. Police reports are still generated even though the person was not convicted or charged for the reported offense. This serves as documentation and will be included in the history of the individual. The document would also show the real name of the reported individual as well as other names that were used by the person.

Police records of Virginia may be public documents but access to it is only given to the person himself and his/her immediate family. Those who need to access the records of other individuals should provide a special court order if not an authorization letter which is notarized. It is important that the one who requested for the record know the basic information of the file that is being requested. This can help avoid delay and can speed up the search process.

Requesting for a copy of a police record can be done at the government office that issued the report. The office can provide the file if the incident happened recently but for older incidents, one has to check with the office of the Department of Public Safety in Virginia. The said office is where all criminal records are being managed and archived. A mail request is also accepted by the state office but one should make sure that the necessary requirements are included in the search to avoid further delay. When doing the mail request, it is expected that one has enough time to wait for the requested file; if not the best option is to search for the record online.

Police reports are now accessible through the Internet. This is the choice of many in Virginia since they can save time and energy in requesting for the police record. Because the information is available online in just seconds, decision making especially for employers can be made easily.
