Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) 1-800-467-4943

VINE is a free and anonymous telephone/internet service that provides victims of crimes and concerned citizens two important features: information and notification about the status of offenders.
VINE monitors the custody status of offenders in county/regional jails and DOC facilities. The data on inmates is updated every 15 minutes.
Information is available FREE, 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. A 24-hour Live Operator is on duty to assist callers.
VINE is available in both English and Spanish.
To search for information, a caller needs either the offender's name or booking number, and VINE will provide the current custody status of the offender.
To register to receive automatic notification, a caller need only provide a telephone number where they can be reached and a 4-digit PIN number. Victims may also register to receive notifications by email at www.vinelink.com
After registering, victims or concerned citizens will receive notification of any change in the offender's status, including a move to a different facility or the decease of the offender.
VINE empowers victims with another tool to ensure their personal safety.

The Police Department has a service on this site called Police to Citizen/P2C. This service allows a person involved in a motor vehicle accident to get a copy of the report, and citizens may also submit some police reports on-line. Click on the Patch at left to access the site.
