Information You Submit
A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. If you send an email or contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to answer it. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the WCSO roster, Maryland courts, DPSCS, federal locators, local agencies, news archives, and outside search tools. The destination’s privacy rules govern after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may also measure activity across websites on their own systems.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold. It may be provided to search partners that process a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or a government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect site data. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, so Washington County Recent Arrests cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may ask that information submitted by a minor be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Requests can be sent through the Contact Us page.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A new effective date will appear with the posted version.
