Certification decision · March 28, 2024

DCJS decertification appeal

Virginia Criminal Justice Services Board · Executive Committee minutes

Role in this record: Officer whose certification appeal was considered.

The official minutes identify Terrell Fields with Newport News Police Department.

Documented outcome: Executive Committee unanimously sustained decertification on March 28, 2024.

The underlying act, original effective date and later reinstatement/judicial review were not obtained. This is not a verified Brady/Giglio listing.

Identity match & review date

Primary DCJS minutes give full first/last name and former NNPD employer. No exact name appears in employees.json or employee-web-directory.json; do not attach to a different Fields or assert current employment. Reviewed October 10, 2026.

Brady/Giglio status has not been established here. A lawsuit, decertification decision or third-party database entry does not by itself establish inclusion on a prosecutor’s list. List access and research gaps.

Notes

No additional published note is attached to this profile.
