Information You Choose to Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, county, state, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Dunn 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 information in that message to review and respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
