Floyd County Sheriff's Office

The Floyd County Sheriff's Office is the main law enforcement agency in the county. When someone gets arrested in Floyd County, the Sheriff's Office handles booking.

The Sheriff's Office maintains jail records and can respond to records requests. You can contact them directly to ask about recent arrests or to request a booking photo. Requests must identify the person by name and date of arrest if known. For older records, written requests work best. The office may direct some requests through a formal FOIA process.

Visit the Floyd County Sheriff's Office website for contact details, hours, and information on how to submit a records request. The office is located in the Town of Floyd, which serves as the county seat.

The Floyd County Circuit Court provides access to criminal court records, including felony case files that contain arrest information. The Circuit Court Clerk's office is also in the county seat and handles public records requests for court documents.

Floyd County Court Records and Arrest Data

Floyd County court records are available through the Virginia Judiciary Online Case Information System. This statewide system lets you search circuit court cases by name or case number. You do not need to visit the courthouse to check basic case status. Felony cases that went through the court will appear in the system along with charge descriptions and case outcomes.

The Floyd County General District Court handles misdemeanor criminal cases. These records are also public but are maintained separately from circuit court records. The General District Court processes lower-level criminal charges that still result in arrest records and court files. Both courts are located in the Town of Floyd.

Virginia law requires that adult mugshots taken during booking be released as public records. Under Virginia Code §2.2-3706(A)(2), booking photos of adults must be made available upon request. The only exception is when release would hurt an active felony investigation. Once the investigation is over, the photos must be released.

Virginia State Resources for Floyd County Records

The Virginia State Police Central Criminal Records Exchange is the official statewide repository for criminal history records. It collects and stores arrest data from local agencies, including Floyd County. You can request a criminal background check through the CCRE using the SP-167 form. The cost is $15 per search and results typically arrive within 15 days.

The CCRE was set up in 1966 and is the sole criminal recordkeeping agency for the Commonwealth. It maintains fingerprints, photographs, and criminal history data submitted by law enforcement statewide. If you need an official record for legal purposes, the CCRE is the right place to start.

For sex offenders, the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry is available online. It includes photos and details on registered offenders. You can search by county or zip code at no charge. The registry is updated each business day.

The Virginia Department of Corrections Offender Locator lets you search for state prison inmates. If someone was convicted and is serving time in a state facility, you can find their location and photo through this tool. Searches are free and require a name or seven-digit offender ID.

Under Virginia Code Title 19.2, Chapter 23, the CCRE collects fingerprints and photos from all arrests statewide. This is what ties local Floyd County arrests into the larger state record system.

If a charge was dismissed or the person was found not guilty, they may be eligible for expungement under Virginia Code §19.2-392.2. An expungement removes the arrest record from public view. The process requires filing a petition with the circuit court and getting fingerprinted. If approved, the State Police direct how the record is handled.

The Virginia FOIA Advisory Council can help if you have trouble getting records. They provide guidance to both people making requests and agencies receiving them. Contact them at foiacouncil@dls.virginia.gov or (804) 698-1810.
