Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, place, or similar query into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. DeKalb County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
