Information You Choose to Send

Search Terms

When you enter a name, location, or other search detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Multnomah County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own database.

If you email or otherwise send a message, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
