Trace a Danville Arrest From the Police Activity List to the Final Court Result

Danville gives the public several useful official search points: weekly arrest names and photos, a live inmate inquiry, downloadable police reports and Virginia’s online criminal court system.

The important part is using them in the right order. A police arrest listing is not a conviction, a jail release is not a dismissal, and a felony may begin in General District Court before moving to Danville Circuit Court.

One Danville arrest can create several separate records

POLICE ACTIVITY Was somebody arrested recently?

Danville Police publishes recent arrest names, arrest photos, reported incidents and warrants.

Fastest first check for a recent DPD arrest.
INMATE INQUIRY Is the person still confined?

Use the official city-linked inmate roster to determine current Danville detention status.

Useful before visiting or depositing funds.
POLICE RECORDS What did officers report?

Incident reports, arrest reports, crash reports and investigative files are maintained by Police Records.

Use the report—not the arrest list—for incident detail.
COURT CASE What was actually prosecuted?

Search General District Court and Circuit Court records for charges, hearings and final disposition.

Best source for conviction or dismissal status.
VIRGINIA STATE POLICE Need a Virginia history?

Use an SP-167 criminal-history request when a Virginia name-based background check is needed.

Different from a Danville arrest-report request.

Danville Police Activity

Search recent Danville arrests, arrest photos and warrants

Danville Police publishes separate public lists for recent arrests, arrest photographs, reported incidents and warrants. The arrest lists cover the previous seven-day period and are refreshed weekly.
Open Reports, Incidents & Police Activity Use the official City of Danville page. Open Danville Police Activity
Select Arrest Information This shows names and listed charges from the recent seven-day period.
Use Arrest Photos only as a secondary identity check A booking or arrest photograph does not establish guilt.
Check Reported Incidents when you know the incident date This can help connect an arrest to the underlying police event.
Open Warrants only for preliminary warrant research Danville Police warns that warrant-list information is subject to verification before service.
Continue to current custody A seven-day arrest list does not tell you whether the person remains incarcerated.
Continue to court records A recent arrest list does not tell you whether the prosecutor retained, changed or dismissed the charge.
Current custody

Search Danville City Jail and Adult Detention inmates

The current Danville Police website links directly to an official Inmate Inquiry system for Danville custody.

Identity safeguards

Verify the right Danville arrest before relying on it

Full legal name matches
Middle name or suffix is consistent
Age or date of birth fits
Arrest date matches the incident
Police agency matches
Inmate ID matches custody record
Court case follows the same arrest
Disposition belongs to the same count
A same-name result is not enough. Confirm at least two independent identifying details before publishing an allegation, sending money or making an important decision.
No-result troubleshooting

No Danville arrest or inmate result found?

The arrest is too new Intake and data entry may still be underway.
The arrest is older than the weekly police list The Police Activity page highlights the prior seven days, not every historical arrest.
The person has already been released Search the court case and request records instead of relying on current custody.
The person is at Adult Detention Do not assume every Danville inmate is housed at 401 Patton Street.
The name is different Try aliases, maiden names, suffixes and alternate spellings.
No jail booking occurred A summons or citation can result in a criminal case without a prolonged jail stay.
The case moved to Circuit Court A felony that began in General District Court may later have a separate Circuit Court case number.
The record was sealed or expunged Public access can be restricted when Virginia law provides record relief.

Virginia FOIA

Use Danville’s FOIA process when the online police report is not enough

Danville accepts public-record requests through its online portal, mail, fax, email, in person or by telephone. A request does not have to use the word “FOIA,” but it must identify existing records with reasonable specificity.
Describe an existing record—not a question Ask for documents the City already possesses.
Make the request narrow Include date, location, incident number, person and record type.
Request electronic delivery when possible Danville allows electronic records to be requested in a format the City normally uses.
Ask for a cost estimate in advance Virginia FOIA gives requesters the right to ask for an estimate.
Expect an initial response within five working days Danville explains that the day after receipt is counted as Day One; weekends and holidays are excluded.
Understand that production can take longer When it is practically impossible to complete the response within five working days, the City can invoke seven additional working days after providing written notice.
Know the $200 deposit threshold If the estimated cost exceeds $200, the City may require an advance deposit up to the amount of the estimate.

Major 2026 Virginia change

Understand Danville expungement versus Virginia record sealing

Virginia now has both expungement and a broader criminal-record sealing framework. They are not interchangeable. Eligibility depends on the exact disposition, offense and statutory route.

Traditional expungement

As of August 2026, Virginia Code §19.2-392.2 still allows qualifying people whose charges resulted in acquittal, nolle prosequi or another qualifying dismissal to petition the Circuit Court for expungement.

  • Petition is filed in the circuit court where the case was resolved.
  • No court filing fee or court costs are required for the qualifying petition described by the statute.
  • The Commonwealth’s Attorney receives the petition.
  • Virginia State Police / CCRE criminal-history information becomes part of the process.

Virginia criminal-record sealing

Virginia’s newer Chapter 23.2 now provides automatic and petition-based sealing for qualifying records.

  • Certain misdemeanor acquittals or dismissals with prejudice can be automatically sealed.
  • Certain felony acquittals/dismissals may be sealed after an immediate request and prosecutor concurrence.
  • Specified convictions can qualify for automatic sealing.
  • Some misdemeanors, Class 5 or 6 felonies and qualifying larceny offenses can be petitioned for sealing.

Current petition-based sealing route

Search every Danville criminal case first Record the case number, offense, disposition and date.
Determine whether automatic sealing already applies Do not file an unnecessary petition when the statute requires automatic processing.
For petition sealing, check §19.2-392.12 eligibility The law can apply to certain misdemeanors, Class 5 and 6 felonies and qualifying larceny offenses, subject to extensive exclusions and prior-record criteria.
Check the conviction-free waiting requirement Petition eligibility considers the time since dismissal, conviction, release or a later probation/parole violation event, depending on the case.
Use the current Virginia court forms CC-1201 is the main petition form under §19.2-392.12; additional sealing forms apply to other statutory routes. Open Virginia criminal-sealing forms
File in Danville Circuit Court when Danville is the proper locality Petition-based sealing under §19.2-392.12 is filed in the circuit court of the city or county where the case was disposed of.
Do not assume every offense is eligible Virginia law contains a substantial list of offenses excluded from petition-based sealing.
December 1, 2026 change: Virginia’s expungement statute has another version scheduled to take effect December 1, 2026. This article is written for August 2026, so do not apply that future version to a petition filed before its effective date without checking the law again.

How do I find someone in Danville City Jail?

How do I get a Danville Police arrest report?

Accuracy, identity and legal-use notice

Arrest Records is an independent informational guide. It is not the Danville Police Department, City Sheriff’s Office, Danville courts, Commonwealth’s Attorney, Public Defender, Virginia State Police or Virginia Department of Corrections.

Arrest lists, warrants, custody status, bond conditions, court dates and criminal-history records can change. Verify the correct person with multiple identifiers and use the current official record before making a legal, employment, housing, financial, safety or publication decision.

Every arrested person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. A police arrest report, jail booking, arrest photograph or warrant does not establish guilt.

Danville and Virginia arrest-record, jail, court, criminal-history and record-sealing procedures reviewed August 15, 2026.
