When you type a name, location, or other query into a search box, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the search tool. Dolores County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or otherwise send a contact message, the message and contact details are used to respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
