Hanover County Arrest Records

Hanover County arrest records are public records under theVirginia Freedom of Information Act (Va. Code § 2.2-3700). This means that government records, including arrest records, are open to the public.

A standard public arrest record within the county may contain the following information:

• Physical description
• Date, time, and location of arrest
• Name of the arresting agency
• Charges filed at the time of arrest
