V.I.N.E. (Victim Information & Notification Everyday) Service

For many survivors, their experience lasts beyond the assault itself. There are often fears that their assailant would one day return and hurt them again in some way.

V.I.N.E. is a free confidential service that allows crime victims and other concerned citizens access to information regarding offenders. To register with the service, you will need one of the following:

  •    Offender Name & Date of Birth
  •    Offender SBI (State Bureau of Identification) number
If the offender is in custody, you can leave a phone number to be notified if there is a change in the offender’s status, such as:
  •         Release
  •         Transfer
  •         Escape
  •         Return from Escape
  •         Unsupervised Custody
  •         Out to Court
  •         DOC Parole Actions
  •         Death
While this service is helpful as part of a survivor’s safety plan, it should not be their only means of protection. If there is an immediate safety concern, call 9-1-1.
