Berryville Warrant Records and Town Police Contact
Berryville Police is at 101 Chalmers Court, Berryville, VA 22611. The public phone is 540-955-3863; the department lists Monday through Friday office hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Its phone is the local route for a town incident or service record, not a guarantee that staff can certify court warrant status at any time.
For emergencies use 911. Routine routing may go through the county non-emergency line when a call involves county law enforcement rather than a Berryville police record.
The Berryville Police Department and Municipal Court
Berryville has its own police department, but no separate Berryville municipal court was located. The official Clarke GDC schedule lists Berryville Police returns, so a town police matter may proceed through the state General District Court. The department’s local role and the court’s case-record role are distinct.
The town department publishes a criminal-record information page for Virginia State Police’s SP-167 process. That is not a warrant lookup. A police report, GDC docket, and sheriff service return can describe different parts of one event.

Berryville Warrant Types and GDC Returns
A Berryville address does not create a separate town court. Police may initiate or serve a matter, while court process is recorded by the court with jurisdiction. The GDC calendar gives a practical clue about how the town department brings cases to court.
| Process | How it arises | Public route |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic case / FTA | Citation or missed required appearance | Clarke GDC case and clerk |
| Arrest warrant | Complaint and probable-cause review | Issuing magistrate or court file |
| Summons | Order to attend a court date | Court named on the paper |
| Search warrant | Probable cause to search place or item | Separate affidavit and access rules |
Types of Berryville Warrants
For Berryville residents, the useful distinction is the process type and the court that holds it, not a town-only warrant label. Adult traffic and misdemeanor cases can appear through General District Court. Criminal complaints may begin with magistrate review. Search warrants follow separate rules and are not a person-status search.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic / FTA | Citation or missed court date | Clarke General District Court |
| Bench process | Missed appearance or court directive | Court handling the case |
| Arrest warrant | Complaint followed by probable-cause review | Magistrate or authorized court |
| Search warrant | Search of a place or item | Separate statutory process |
Berryville Warrant-Service Reporting in 2025
The Berryville Police 2025 annual report lists 11 events under “Warrant Service.” It also reports 1,913 calls for service and 54 arrests. The warrant figure is an activity category. It is not the number of active warrants, unique people, or court cases pending in Berryville.
Use the report as local operations context, not as a roster or status database. It names criminal papers broadly, including warrants, capias, summonses, and indictments.
The town’s annual report supplies aggregate figures only.
What a Berryville Warrant Record Shows
Berryville publishes police activity and records channels, but no public town warrant schema was found. A related court result may show a case number, charge, hearing date, disposition, or service event. Match the court and date before treating a result as the correct file. The example number below is only a format illustration.
| Case number | Illustrative GDC traffic pattern: GT-YYYY-#####. |
|---|---|
| Party | Use the public field only to match the person’s own case. |
| Charge | May include a Virginia Code section or local code reference. |
| Court | Clarke GDC, Circuit, or another court shown on the record. |
| Event | Hearing, disposition, or service return may be listed. |
| Bond | Case-specific; no standard Berryville amount was located. |
Berryville Police FOIA and Court Records
Berryville Police has its own Freedom of Information Act page and identifies `foiapolice@berryvilleva.gov` for police-record requests. A request can seek an existing town record; it does not ask the court to confirm an active warrant. For a case docket or court process, use the court name shown in the case.
The town’s criminal-record information page points to SP-167 through Virginia State Police. That criminal-record route is not a warrant lookup. Keep those services distinct when asking for a report or status.
See the Berryville Police FOIA instructions for the department’s request method.

Berryville Warrant Returns on the GDC Calendar
The official General District Court schedule lists Berryville Police returns on the third Wednesday at 9, 10, 11, and 2. The calendar shows when the department’s cases are brought to court; it is not a warrant-service appointment or a promise that a case can be resolved at that time.
For a town incident, ask Berryville Police about its report. For a missed appearance or citation, call the court clerk about the case file. No town surrender appointment or local warrant amnesty program was located.
Public Access to Berryville Warrant Records
Virginia FOIA covers public-body records subject to exemptions, while court files follow the court’s access rules. Ask Berryville Police for an existing town record and the issuing clerk for a court file. Juvenile and sealed records have additional limits. No Berryville warrant-specific search fee or certified-copy fee was located.
Key Rules:
Virginia FOIA, § 2.2-3704 - requests should describe existing records with reasonable specificity.
Virginia Code § 2.2-3704.1 - charges for access are limited to reasonable actual costs.
Virginia Code § 16.1-301 - juvenile law-enforcement records have special access limits.
Berryville Warrant Reports Use Categories
The town’s weekly activity reports and annual report use categories such as warrant service. Their value is the reporting cadence and aggregate activity, not a list of people or current cases. The 2025 report and dated weekly reports should not be copied row by row.
When a report mentions a service category, it may refer to a process served earlier or an event recorded for operational purposes. The court file and clerk remain the route for a specific Berryville case.
