This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Virginia Freedom of Information Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Lunenburg County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Lunenburg County that is the Lunenburg County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the Lunenburg County State Police in Lunenburg County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
