The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires the disclosure and/or nondisclosure of police related records or documents. ePRO complies with FOIA as follows:
Pursuant of Virginia Code 2.2-3706, The Freedom of Information Act, a general description of the criminal activity reported, the date and general location the alleged crime was committed, the identity of the investigating officer, and a general description of any injuries suffered or property damaged or stolen is provided.
Pursuant of 2.2-3706(F)(1), the following records are excluded from the provisions of this chapter, but may be disclosed by the custodian, in his discretion, except where such disclosure is prohibited by law -- complaints, memoranda, correspondence, case files or reports, witness statements, and evidence relating to a criminal investigation or prosecution, other than criminal incident information.
Pursuant of Virginia Code 2.2-3706(G)(1), The Freedom of Information Act, records kept by law-enforcement agencies as required by § 15.2-1722 shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter except when those portions of noncriminal incident or other investigative reports or materials containing identifying information of a personal, medical or financial nature provided to a law-enforcement agency where the release of such information would jeopardize the safety or privacy of any person.
Pursuant of Virginia Code 19.2-11.2, crime victim's right to nondisclosure of certain information, you may request nondisclosure of your name from Incident Reports. Please contact the Support Division, Records Unit at (757) 385-4331 (Option 2 for Incident and Accident Reports and Option 5 for Warrant information) between the hours of 8 AM and 4:30 PM or use the Comments link and provide the case number(s) and your name. Your name will be removed by the end of the next City business day.
Pursuant of Virginia Code 19.2-11.2, crime victim's right to nondisclosure of certain information, public information which directly or indirectly identifies the victim of a crime involving any sexual assault, sexual abuse or family abuse shall not be released via ePRO.
Pursuant of Virginia Code 16.1-301, confidentiality of law-enforcement records, juvenile records are protected against disclosure and shall not be release via ePRO.
Due to the dynamic nature of police databases, the information contained in this report may change or be removed from future reports. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this report. Due to the high volume of records, data entry errors may exist.
The Virginia Beach Police Department does not assume any liability for decisions made or actions taken or not taken by the recipient based on the information provided.
Information contained in this report is in Incident Based Reporting (IBR) format. Under IBR each offense (the crimes) that occurs during the incident (the event) is counted. This is in contrast to Uniform Crime Report (UCR) rules, where only the most severe offense is counted. For example, if a rape and robbery occurred in the same incident, under IBR both the rape and robbery are counted. Under the UCR system, only the rape is counted.
Secondary crimes are denoted by an asterisk (*). The ATT/COM column refers to attempted or completed offenses. All victims involved in a Crime Against Persons are counted. For example, if an assault occurred with three victims, the report lists three lines of data. Motor vehicle thefts are counted once for each vehicle stolen. Unfounded incidents are excluded, meaning that after further investigation, the police determined that the reported crime did not actually occur. Incidents containing “Undetermined” in the Neighborhood column could not be matched to a neighborhood. The street number most likely fell outside the block range contained in our database.
PLEASE NOTE: Allow at least 7 days from the report date for data entry into our records management systems. After data entry processes are complete, ePRO data for Neighborhood Crimes Reports and Incident Reports is updated at 12 AM, 4 AM, 8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM, and 8 PM Monday through Friday. This process takes approximately 10 minutes and you may receive errors during this time. If you receive an error, please exit ePRO and try again 10 minutes later.
