Information You Submit
Search Entries
If you type a name, county, or location into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Clearwater County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and handle the request. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and improve page performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.

Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, jail, VINE, court, IDOC, federal locator, and third-party search resources. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is handled. That includes official records pages such as the Clearwater County Sheriff's Office public records request form at https://www.clearwatercounty.org/Public%20Records%20Request%20Form-Sheriff%27s%20Office.pdf.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. Those tracking choices are controlled by the advertising partner, not by Clearwater County Inmate Population.
