Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Rock Island County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the details you provide to review and respond to that message. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
