Arrest reports name the person, age, charge, booking date, and bond. The full case file may stay closed while the case is open. Police investigative files are set out in Va. Code § 2.2-3706.1.

The clerk of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court holds these records and will not give them out without a court order.

Tips for Page County FOIA Filings
Keep your ask short and clear. Name the date, the report number if you have it, and the kind of file you want. Vague asks slow the search and raise the fee. Most Page County offices bill staff time by the 15-minute block at the rate of the lowest paid clerk who can do the work.
Ask for a cost estimate up front. If the work may top $200, the county can ask for a deposit before they start. Get the cost in writing. You can also ask to inspect files in person at no copy fee. The county will set a time and place for the review at the courthouse or sheriff's office.
If your request is denied, ask for the legal cite. The denial letter must name a section of the code. Common cites are § 2.2-3705.1 for personnel files and § 2.2-3706 for police files. You can then call the Virginia FOIA Council at 1-866-448-4100 for free help, or file a petition in the Page County Circuit Court.
Note: Always keep a copy of your request and the reply. Dates matter if the matter ends up in court.
