Neither this resource nor its advertising partners offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The site identifies Delaware County, Iowa record sources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not hold official criminal records, retrieve records, perform official checks, or submit forms for a visitor.
Its purpose is to identify custodians of Delaware County records, including the Sheriff and Jail, Iowa District Court, Iowa DPS Division of Criminal Investigation, and Iowa Sex Offender Registry, while also linking to optional outside research tools.

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information from this website or a linked tool may be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate.
