You were arrested by Officer Koogler in Augusta County, and the data shows this officer's cases proceed to conviction significantly more often than typical. His 14% dismissal rate is well below Virginia's statewide average of 34.7%, meaning charges he files are substantially less likely to be dropped or dismissed.

Koogler ranks in the bottom 10% statewide for dismissal rates, suggesting his cases tend to survive initial scrutiny at notably higher rates than his peers.
