Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, or location is entered into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the search tool. Herkimer County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
Email or contact messages may be retained long enough to read, route, and answer them. They are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
