Questions about official Montgomery County criminal records belong with the government office that created or keeps the file. This private reference resource cannot retrieve, change, or certify a record. The routes here identify the Sheriff, court clerk, police agency, or Virginia state custodian that handles each type.

This Is Not a Government Office. This is a private reference resource. It cannot retrieve a criminal file, perform an official state check, correct or remove an entry, or accept an expungement or sealing petition. Contact the proper government custodian for those services.

Need an Official Record?

Use the custodian that matches the Montgomery County record:

  • Court case files: review criminal court case records or call the clerk for the court that heard the matter
  • Virginia criminal histories: use the Virginia State Police Civil & Applicant Records Exchange and the SP-167 process
  • Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office or the arresting police agency
  • Police incident reports: send a request to the Sheriff, Blacksburg Police, Christiansburg Police, Virginia Tech Police, or VSP, based on the responding officer
  • Expungement and sealing: file through the proper Virginia court and confirm current eligibility rules before proceeding
  • Registry information: use the Virginia State Police Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry
