Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. DeKalb County Inmate Population does not store or maintain those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Other Websites and Advertising
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Indiana MyCase, Indiana Department of Correction resources, VINELink, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls its data practices.
