Terms of Use

By using DeKalb County Inmate Population, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.

DeKalb County Inmate Population is privately owned and is not affiliated with DeKalb County, the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, DeKalb County Jail, the Indiana Department of Correction, or any court or government agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provide credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, private-investigation, background-check, or other FCRA-covered services.


Nature of This Website

This is a private reference site. It does not store official jail records, court files, booking photos, warrant records, or correctional records, and it cannot confirm custody status, release a person, or file a document with a public office.

The site points visitors toward DeKalb County inmate and jail records resources, Indiana public-record and court systems, and third-party research tools. Indiana public-record requests to public agencies are governed by the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, but this site is not the agency that receives or decides those requests.


Acceptable Use

  • Do not use the site for unlawful activity.
  • Do not use any information to stalk, threaten, harass, or intimidate another person.
  • Do not rely on site content for employment, housing, lending, insurance, or similar screening decisions.
  • Do not attempt to access systems, files, or accounts without permission.
  • Do not use bots, scrapers, or automated harvesting tools against the site.
  • Do not interfere with the site or prevent other visitors from using it.

No Consumer Reports or FCRA Use

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide consumer reports, credit reports, criminal background checks, or screening products, and its advertising partners are not offered here as screening services. You agree not to use information from this site or linked tools for any FCRA-covered purpose, including:

  • Decisions about hiring, firing, promotion, or workplace discipline.
  • Tenant screening, housing eligibility, or rental decisions.
  • Creditworthiness, lending, insurance rates, or insurance eligibility.
  • Licensing, permits, benefits, or government-program eligibility.
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Resources

The site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Indiana MyCase, Indiana Department of Correction pages, VINELink, federal locators, legal-information resources, and outside search services. We do not operate those websites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, terms, data accuracy, or availability.


No Warranties

The site is provided as is. We make no promise about the following:

  • That information is complete, current, or accurate.
  • That the site will be available without interruption.
  • That pages will be free of errors, bugs, or security weaknesses.
  • That a partner search tool will return complete or useful results.

Custody status, court dates, charges, bond terms, release status, and public-record availability can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from a sheriff's office, jail, court, corrections department, or government agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, DeKalb County Inmate Population is not liable for damages or losses arising from use of the site, inability to use the site, reliance on site content, or use of linked resources.


Indemnification

You agree to hold this site harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and legal fees arising from your use of the site or your violation of these Terms of Use.


Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, page layouts, and code belong to DeKalb County Inmate Population or its content partners unless another owner is identified. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or republish site materials without written permission.


Changes to the Terms

These Terms of Use may be updated at any time. Revised terms take effect when they are posted on this page.


Access Restrictions

We may limit, suspend, or block access to the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.


Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana. Any dispute related to these terms or the site must be filed in a court located in Indiana, unless a controlling law requires a different forum.


Severability

If one part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The invalid part will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
