Information You Send Directly
Messages to the Site
If you contact the site, the information in your message and reply address may be used to respond and keep track of the conversation. Do not send sensitive case details or identification documents unless they are necessary for your request. This website cannot resolve a Norfolk warrant or provide official case advice.
Search Queries
Where a page contains an outside search tool, information entered into its fields is sent to that provider for processing. The provider’s retention, matching, and sharing practices are set by its own policy. Do not assume a search query stays only on this site; read the provider’s terms before submitting it.
Technical Visit Information
Web hosting and security systems may process technical details needed to deliver pages and protect the site. Depending on the host, these can include an internet address, browser and device information, requested page, referring page, and time of request. The exact logs and retention period depend on the services operating the site. This policy does not claim access to the internal data held by Norfolk’s courts, police, or Sheriff.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Some site features or external services may use cookies or comparable browser storage. Browser settings can restrict or clear cookies. If an outside provider places them, that provider’s notice and settings control its use.
How Information May Be Used
Information handled by the site or its providers may support page delivery, security, answering a message, measuring site performance, or operating a search feature. If the site uses analytics, advertising, or referral services, those services may process technical identifiers under their own terms. Avoid giving a third-party search provider information that is not needed for your search.
No Norfolk Warrant Database Is Maintained Here
This website does not host, maintain, or sell a database of Norfolk warrants or personal warrant records. It provides directions to public sources such as the Norfolk Police Department wanted interface, its open-data dataset, and court records. Those sources have different coverage and access limits. A public listing is not a complete statewide warrant index, and official confirmation must come from the responsible agency or issuing court.
Outside Search Providers
Search boxes and referral links may be operated by companies separate from this site. Once information is submitted to one of those tools, the provider controls its processing and may apply its own fees, terms, and retention rules. A third-party result is not an official Norfolk court record and may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrectly matched. Do not use such a service for a decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Links to Public Agencies and Other Sites
Pages may link to Norfolk City agencies, Virginia court resources, public datasets, legal resources, and commercial services. Following an external link takes you to a separate service with its own privacy practices. For court and police records, use the official agency source and review any notice presented there before submitting information. This site does not control how an outside service operates.
Who May Receive Information
Information may be available to the hosting or security provider, a search company receiving a query, or a service used to measure site traffic, if one is enabled. It may also be disclosed when required by a valid legal process or to protect the service from abuse. This policy does not represent that every listed service is currently enabled or that the site has access to third-party records.
Security and Retention
Reasonable steps may be taken to protect information handled by the site, but transmission and storage over the internet cannot be guaranteed completely secure. Keep messages limited to what is needed. Retention depends on the purpose and the provider involved; contact that provider for information it controls.
Children’s Information
This reference is directed to adults seeking public agency information. It is not designed to collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child sent personal information through a site contact channel may use the contact page to request review.
Privacy Questions and Virginia FOIA
For questions about information submitted to this website, use the site’s contact page. Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act, including Va. Code §2.2-3704, concerns access to existing public records held by public bodies, subject to exemptions. It does not create access rights to private visitor records held by this site, nor does it require the site to search or verify a warrant. Requests for City records should be directed to the Norfolk public body that holds them.
Policy Updates
This policy may be revised as the site or its service providers change. The revised text will appear on this page. Review it periodically if you continue to use the site.
