You were arrested by an officer whose cases result in dismissals at a notably lower rate than typical across Virginia. Of your officer's 714 cases, 26.9% were dismissed compared to the statewide average of 34.7%—putting this officer in the bottom third of dismissal rates statewide. This means cases filed by this officer are more likely to result in conviction than cases filed by other officers, though nearly 27% still don't survive to conviction.

The outcome in your case depends significantly on what you were charged with. The vast majority of this officer's arrests (636 cases) fall under "Other" charges with a 26.2% dismissal rate. However, dismissal rates vary sharply: drug possession charges were dismissed 100% of the time, larceny charges were dismissed 45.5% of the time, but DUI cases had only an 8.3% dismissal rate. Where your charge falls on this spectrum matters considerably for understanding what typically happens next in cases from this officer.
