Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar query into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Vermilion Parish Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share message contents outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
