Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar query into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Montgomery County Inmate Population does not store those partner-search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message is kept so a response can be prepared. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, or another valid legal process.
