Local police departments typically provide law enforcement services at the municipal level. Interested persons may obtain arrest records through the record offices or incident portals run by these agencies. However, records maintained by a police department are often limited to the vicinity that the agency serves. As such, requesters have to identify the location of the arrest to determine the corresponding local agency to contact. The Altavista Police Department is the only major police department in Campbell County. Other communities in the county contract with the Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services.

The Virginia State Police collates and provides public access to criminal information from communities across the state, including Campbell County.
