Who We Are (The “Manual Research” Difference)

Namaste and Welcome! We are not a big corporate company, and we are not a robot “AI” site.

We are a small team of dedicated bloggers and researchers who believe that public information should be free and accurate.

We noticed that when you search for “Arrest Records” or “Inmate Rosters” on Google, you mostly find spammy websites that ask for money or show you data from 5 years ago.

Our Mission is Simple: To be the most helpful, accurate, and honest resource for finding public records in Virginia.

Why Trust Us?

  • We Do Manual Work: We don’t just “scrape” data. We personally call the Sheriff’s offices (like verified numbers for Roanoke and Fairfax) to check if the visitation hours have changed.

  • We Verify Official Forms: If we mention Form SP-167, it is because we have downloaded it and read it ourselves.

  • We Know the Law: We keep our content updated with the latest changes, such as the 2026 “Clean Slate Act”, so you don’t get confused by old rules.

Editorial Policy

We take our responsibility seriously. Because we write about legal records (YMYL – Your Money or Your Life), we follow strict standards:

1. The “Source of Truth” Rule

We always distinguish between Official Government Sources (like vsp.virginia.gov or OCIS 2.0) and Third-Party Sites (like Arrests.org). We will never tell you a private site is “official.” We always guide you to the government portal first.

2. Accuracy & Updates

Laws change. Phone numbers change. We commit to reviewing our content regularly.

  • Fact-Checking: Every phone number, address, and fee (like the $15 background check cost) is verified before publishing.

  • Corrections: If you find an error on our site, please contact us. We usually fix mistakes within 48 hours.

3. No Paywalls for Public Info

We believe you shouldn’t have to pay to find out if your loved one is safe in jail. We prioritize Free Resources (like VINE Link and Sheriff Rosters) over paid background check services.

Terms of Use & Disclaimer

By using this website, you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully.

1. We Are Not a Government Agency

This website is an informational blog. We are not affiliated with the Virginia State Police, the Virginia Judiciary, or any Sheriff’s Office. Any official forms or logos shown are for educational purposes only.

We may link to other websites (like JailATM or ConnectNetwork) for your convenience. We do not own these sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
