Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other query is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Dearborn County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
