Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Dakota County Inmate Population does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or message connected to this site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when pages load.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used

- To pass search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Dakota County jail, court, NDCS, NEVCAP, BOP, or ICE resource pages visitors use most.
- To identify errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff and corrections pages, the Dakota County JailId roster, Nebraska court resources, NDCS, NEVCAP, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Public records available through government sources may be governed by Nebraska laws such as Neb. Rev. Stat. 84-712, 84-712.05, and 47-204. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Dakota County government office or this site as an official records system.
