General Information:
VINE is a free and anonymous telephone service that is designed to provide two important features to crime victims: information and notification. VINE is available to callers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
VINE monitors the custody status of offenders at the Polk County Jail and Department of Corrections and individuals currently on probation/parole/post-prison supervision/parole/post-prison supervision. Offenders in the custody of other county jails and confined to Oregon Youth Authority facilities will be added by the end of 2002.
The Oregon VINE service is available in English and Spanish. A live operator is available to provide assistance to anyone calling the toll-free number for any reason.
Information Calls:
VINE will tell callers if an offender is in the custody of the Polk County Jail or the Oregon Department of Corrections or under probation/parole/post-prison supervision supervision by local community corrections offices.
To search for information, callers will need to provide one or more of the following items:
Offender's name and correct spelling Offender's State Identification Number ("SID Number")
JJIS Number for Oregon Youth Authority
Secondary search options if there's more than one offender with the same name:

Notification Calls:
The VINE system will allow callers to leave a phone number if they want to be called automatically when an offender's custody status changes, such as being released or transferred. The computer will also notify registered callers if their offender escapes, dies, or has a change in parole or probation/parole/post-prison supervision status.
Crime victims and concerned citizens may register for VINE's notification feature by calling the VINE toll-free number. Callers will need to provide VINE with the following information:
A telephone number, including area code, where they can be reached for notification.
