The FBI annually releases statistics on violent crimes such as murder, rape and robbery and on property crimes such as burglary and vehicle theft.

Included in this database are the FBI's latest annual statistics on the extent of bias-fueled crime across the country.

The registry, including the Public Notification Database, is based on the Virginia General Assembly's decision to facilitate access to publicly-available information about persons convicted of specified violent and sexual offenses.The main purpose of providing this data on the internet is to make the information more easily available and accessible, not to warn citizens about any specific individual.

The Virginia Department of Health inspects restaurants, fast food operations, delis, school cafeterias and other food service establishments. You can search the database by the name of the facility or the locality to find inspection reports and any critical health violations found.

The Internal Revenue Service is looking for taxpayers who are due to receive refund checks. Search its database to see if the IRS owes you money and learn how to get your check.
