Virginia Beach City Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm someone is in custody or has been released, release anyone, post a bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the appropriate public office below for those services.
Official Virginia Beach Records Routes
Use the office that created or holds the record. VBSO and the Virginia Beach Correctional Center handle local custody and booking material. VBPD handles police incident reports, while the court provides case and disposition information. The general City FOIA route can direct a city-record request when the proper department is unclear.
VBSO and Virginia Beach Correctional Center
Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office / Virginia Beach Correctional Center

Virginia Beach, VA 23456
Main: (757) 385-4555
For a booking record or adult booking-photo request, contact Capt. Lois Thompson, Public Information / FOIA, through VBSO FOIA, at pso@vbso.net, (757) 385-1971, or fax (757) 385-1798. For released-person information and mugshots, VBSO publishes its Public Information Office route: pio@vbso.net, (757) 385-8446, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. VBSO may charge actual costs and can provide an estimate before filling a request.

Court Disposition
Virginia Beach General District Court
2425 Nimmo Pkwy
Virginia Beach, VA 23456
(757) 385-8531
A booking or arrest is an accusation. The court record and final disposition are the appropriate places to determine whether a charge was reduced, dismissed, or resulted in another outcome.
For a quick route to the right source, use the following record categories:
- For current local custody, bond information, or the official inmate search, start with the Virginia Beach Correctional Center and the Virginia Beach City booking and custody reference.
- For a booking record or adult initial photo, make a specific VBSO FOIA or Public Information Office request with the person's name and booking details if known.
- For a police incident report, use the Virginia Beach Police Department's report and FOIA route.
- For a court result, contact Virginia Beach General District Court or the court that handled the case.
- For a state-custody record, use the Virginia Department of Corrections inmate and supervisee locator rather than the local jail lookup.
- For a wanted-list or warrant question, use the official resources described on Sheriff's Most Wanted.
