Terms & Conditions

Dubuque County Recent Arrests is privately owned and has no affiliation with a sheriff, jail, corrections department, court, or other government body. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening.


Nature of This Website

This private reference does not store official government records. It cannot confirm present custody, release a person, accept bond, or file a document. It organizes links to Dubuque County P2C, the Sheriff’s Office, Iowa Courts, Iowa DOC, records-request resources, and third-party research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Use the site only for lawful purposes.
  • Do not use information to stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass anyone.
  • Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another regulated decision.
  • Do not attempt to enter restricted systems or accounts.
  • Do not operate automated bots or scrapers against the site.
  • Do not interfere with service for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not provide consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks, and neither our site nor advertising partners offers screening services. Users agree not to apply content to:

  • Hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions.
  • Tenant selection or housing eligibility.
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing.
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.

External Websites

Links may lead to jail searches, arrest feeds, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, legal resources, and outside search services. A link does not imply endorsement. We do not control those sites, their data practices, content, or uptime. Review their terms before use.


Service Provided As Is

The site and its contents are supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that:

  • Information is accurate, complete, or current.
  • Access will remain uninterrupted.
  • The service is free of errors, defects, or security flaws.
  • A partner search will return every relevant result.

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing here is an official statement from the Dubuque County Sheriff’s Office, jail, court, or another agency.


Limits of Liability

To the fullest extent Iowa law permits, the site, its owners, and its partners are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive harm arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or linked services.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operators harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the service or violation of these terms.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when posted here. Continued use after publication means the visitor accepts the updated terms.

Iowa Law Applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa. Any dispute must be filed in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.
