For records that are not visible in the current jail query, ACSO FOIA and county FOIA channels may apply. County FOIA requests can be filed through GovQA, mailed to the FOIA Officer, County Attorney's Office, 2100 Clarendon Boulevard, Suite 403, Arlington, VA 22201, faxed to 703-228-7106, emailed to FOIAofficer@arlingtonva.us, or made in person at 2100 Clarendon Boulevard. Virginia FOIA, including Va. Code sections 2.2-3704 and 2.2-3706, generally requires a response within five working days, with a possible seven-working-day extension. Virginia jail record statutes, including Va. Code sections 53.1-116 and 53.1-122, are part of the public-record context for jailer records and daily jail population, admission, and release records. Arlington Police also notes that Virginia's new sealing law is effective July 1, 2026.
