Links and advertising outside this site
Links may lead to official resources such as the Surry County Sheriff’s Office, Riverside Regional Jail, the county FOIA page, court portals, VADOC, and third-party tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that other service’s privacy policy and practices apply.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Surry County Busted Mugshots does not control those systems. This notice does not change the Virginia public-records rules in § 2.2-3704 or an originating office’s separate records practices.
