When you type a name, location, or other search term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Montgomery County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
