The city also sees many violent crimes, including sex offenses, aggravated assault and robbery; however, most arrests in Hampton are for property crimes and drug offenses.

Hampton Criminal Cases

After an arrest, you may want to learn more about the government’s evidence against you. Obtaining a copy of the police report is a good place to start. To get a copy of a police report, you must contact the Central Record Unit, located in the lobby of the Public Safety Building at 40 Lincoln Street, Hampton, VA. The phone number for the Central Records Unit is 757-727-6540. Note that not all police reports are publicly available. If you are facing allegations of domestic violence, a sex offense, or witness intimidation charges, you may need to obtain a redacted copy of the police report from your attorney.

After your arrest, your case will be heard in one of two local courts. The Hampton General District Court hears all Misdemeanor offenses, which are those crimes that carry a maximum punishment of less than 12 months in jail. The Hampton General District Court is located at 236 North King Street, 2nd Floor, Hampton, VA. The court’s phone number is 757-727-6260.

Felony cases will first have a preliminary hearing. The district court hears all preliminary hearings. However, if the case survives the preliminary hearing, the trial will be held at the Hampton Circuit Court, located at 237 N. King Street, Hampton, VA. The court’s phone number is 757-727-6105.
