This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference resource cannot retrieve criminal files, perform an official check, correct or remove a record, or receive an expungement petition. The responsible public office must handle each task.
Need an Official Record?
Use the custodian that holds the Frederick County record:
- Court case files: see criminal court case records, or contact the clerk of the court that heard the case
- Criminal records and repository histories: contact Virginia State Police CJIS, CCRE, or CARE as the service requires
- Arrest, incident, booking, and jail records: call Frederick County Sheriff's Records at 540-662-8961 for its reports or Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center at 540-535-3800 for custody
- Official Virginia name checks: use the Virginia State Police SP-167 process
- Warrant questions: call Frederick County Sheriff's Warrants at 540-662-2921
- Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
- Expungement and record sealing: confirm the current process with Frederick Circuit Court
