Information You Enter
Lookup Searches
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Roanoke City Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to review and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
