Police records stay with the agency that made them, such as a city or town police department, a sheriff's office or the state police. What each agency releases, and how fast it answers, differs from place to place.

The Virginia DMV keeps the official record of every reportable crash, so crash reports come from the DMV. Other State Police records are requested under FOIA, preferably through NextRequest.
