Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Searches
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Montgomery County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to the query it receives.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to read and answer your request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law, including a valid legal order.

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Detention Center, North Carolina courts, NC SAVAN, NC DAC, federal locators, news pages, or outside search tools. Once you follow a link, that organization’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
