Did you know each year Lynchburg Water Resources distributes an annual drinking water quality report informing Lynchburg City residents about the quality of the drinking water?

Sheriff Don Sloan is pleased to announce that the Lynchburg Sheriff's Office continues to be numbered among an elite group of Virginia law enforcement agencies having earned and maintained accreditation status through the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission (VLEPSC). Of the more than 360 law enforcement agencies in Virginia, only 102 of these have achieved this distinction. The Lynchburg Sheriff’s Office was initially accredited in November 2006 and has since earned its fifth accreditation certification.

In 2016, Lynchburg City Council amended the Vacant Building Registration Program in order to help prevent areas of the City becoming blighted due to vacant and "derelict" commercial and residential buildings.
