When a name, location, or similar detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Sanilac County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you email or submit a message to the site, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
