Search Terms
A name or location entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party company operating that tool. Washington County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer it and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Visit Data
Ordinary server and analytics tools may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can reject or delete cookies, though blocking them may cause some features to work differently.

Privacy Beyond These Pages
Links lead to sheriff, court, corrections, custody, news, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not as a record maintained by this site.
Limited Data Recipients
Personal information is not sold. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, data may be handled by:
- search partners processing a submitted query;
- analytics providers measuring visits;
- advertising networks delivering ads; or
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information within our control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the contact page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask for deletion when applicable.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right.
