Sheriff Weekly promotes transparency throughout his agency and has created a dashboard with information about inmates housed in the Douglas County Detention Center.
Sheriff Darren Weekly said, “As your Sheriff, I believe that transparency and open communication are essential to maintaining trust between the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the community we serve. It’s important to me that our residents have access to information about who is in our jail and understand the actions our office takes to keep Douglas County safe.”
This report provides demographic information that is public. It includes a count of incarcerated individuals at the Douglas County Jail generated daily at 7:00 AM. The data presented includes gender, race, and citizenship.
Citizenship is based on the most accurate available data. Legislation prohibits law enforcement officers from arresting or detaining individuals solely based on a civil immigration detainer. Additionally, the law mandates that no personal information is shared with federal immigration authorities from probation and requires that individuals be advised before any immigration interviews take place.
