Chesterfield County Inmate Population is a private reference website. It is not a government office, sheriff's office, jail, court, or records unit. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, pull an official booking record, obtain a mugshot, or change a court or jail record. Use the official contacts below for those requests.
Where to Ask for Records
Chesterfield County does not have a located official public name-search jail roster. The right contact depends on whether you need current local jail custody, bond, a court case, a public-record request, state custody, federal custody, or immigration custody.

Public records and FOIA
For a booking record, commitment record, release record, bond information, or adult arrestee photograph, use Chesterfield's Public Records Request Portal or the county's listed mail, fax, email, phone, or in-person FOIA routes. Virginia FOIA requires a request to describe existing records with reasonable specificity. Include the full name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, requested record type, and your contact details. The county FOIA officer listed in the research is Crystal Dabney, 804-748-1211.
Courts and prosecutor
For charges filed after an arrest, search Virginia Judiciary portals by Chesterfield locality, name, case number, or hearing date. Felony cases may require both General District Court and Circuit Court checks. The Circuit Court Record Room public service hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., excluding holidays.
