Chesapeake Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody or released, post bond, release anyone, or retrieve official booking records. Contact the appropriate public office below for an official answer.
Current Jail Status and Booking Records
For a present custody question at Chesapeake Correctional Center, use the Sheriff-linked inmate lookup or call the current jail-status line. For an existing local booking record or an adult routine intake photograph not available on the official roster, direct a focused FOIA request to the Chesapeake Sheriff’s Office. The office can respond under the Virginia FOIA framework, but a response is not a promise that every requested record is releasable.
Chesapeake Sheriff’s Office
401 Albemarle Drive
Chesapeake, VA 23322
Main telephone: 757-382-6159
Mail: P.O. Box 15125, Chesapeake, VA 23328
Current jail-status line: 757-382-2883
Sheriff FOIA requests
Email: SheriffFOIA@cityofchesapeake.net
Fax: 757-382-8972
Mail: Chesapeake Sheriff’s Office FOIA Officer, P.O. Box 15125, Chesapeake, VA 23328
Identify the person, known date of birth, booking number or relevant date range, and the existing record sought. The Sheriff describes an initial response framework of five working days, counted from the day after receipt and excluding weekends and holidays. No fixed public booking-photo fee was located. Actual costs, an estimate, or a deposit may apply, so request an estimate before work begins.
Police Reports and City FOIA
Use Central Records for a Chesapeake Police Department incident or offense report, and use the Sheriff for a Correctional Center booking record or booking photograph. These are different custodians and one office cannot substitute for the other. Some police records may be unavailable, require FOIA processing, or require a subpoena.
Chesapeake Police Department Central Records
304 Albemarle Drive
Chesapeake, VA 23322
Telephone: 757-382-6387
The City’s formal request channel is JustFOIA. General City FOIA questions may be sent to FOIA@cityofchesapeake.net or directed to 757-382-6166. Virginia FOIA, Va. Code § 2.2-3700 et seq., supplies the five-working-day initial response structure and permits actual-cost charging. Ask the City for an estimate because no fixed CPD arrest-photo fee was located.
Court Case Questions
A booking charge does not state the final court result. For adult local case information, Chesapeake General District Court can be reached at 757-382-3100 and Chesapeake Circuit Court at 757-382-3000. Use the official court record and clerk process for case status or disposition questions rather than treating a jail entry as a conviction.
Choose the Correct Record Path
Start with the office that holds the kind of information sought. The following distinctions prevent a police report, jail entry, and court case from being treated as the same record.
- Current local custody: Sheriff inmate lookup or the Chesapeake Correctional Center status line.
- Past local booking record or adult intake photo: Sheriff FOIA office.
- Police incident or offense report: CPD Central Records or City FOIA.
- Adult court case status or disposition: Chesapeake General District or Circuit Court.
- State-custody or supervision information: Virginia Department of Corrections’ official locator.
