Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name or location entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. Brown County Recent Arrests does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
When you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details needed to answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Other Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Schuyler County Jail, Illinois Department of Corrections, court and government portals, booking sources, and independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through those companies, not through a Brown County government database operated by this site.
