Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar search term into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Wayne County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle follow-up. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Other Websites and Advertising
