Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, or other detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Westmoreland County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information you provide may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address.

Outside Links
This site links to resources such as Northern Neck Regional Jail, the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office, Virginia courts, VADOC, Virginia VINE, BOP, ICE ODLS, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy policy and terms apply.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites or deliver interest-based ads. Those activities occur through the partner's technology, not through an official Westmoreland County system.
