Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you enter a name, location, or other search term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Montgomery County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server logs as a separate search database.
Messages and Contact Requests
If you send an email or contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond to it. We do not share contact messages outside our operation unless we need a service provider to help process them or disclosure is required by law.
