VINE
Facts:
VINE is completely anonymous. The offender will never know you are registered with VINE.
If you are signed up for phone notifications and are unable to answer, VINE will leave a voice message.
If there is no answer, VINE will keep calling until you confirm the phone call by pressing 9, saying "confirm" or until 24 hours have passed.
Since VINE calls automatically when an offender's custody status changes, you may get a call from VINE in the middle of the night.
Do not leave a phone number with VINE that rings to a switchboard.
Do not depend only on the VINE service, or any other single program, for your protections. If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has already been released.
Make VINE part of your safety plan.
You can sign up to receive more than one notification type with the VINE Service (ie. phone and email notifications)
VINE does not require a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) to receive notifications however, it does require creating a PIN when you register in order to delete or modify registrations in the future.
Always create a PIN that is easy to remember.
VINE information: Write down the following information and keep in a safe place:
Offender Name
Offender Number
Your 4-digit PIN
