Sussex Deputys trained on use of VINE system
On January 25 and 27, 2011, 7 deputys assigned to the Jail and records underwent training on the use and implementation of the nationwide VINE system. Victim Information and Notification Everyday began in 1994, and has been adopted by 46 states and 40 Department of Corrections systems as their method of notifying victims of crime when the offender is released or transferred. The training sessions were conducted by professional training personnel from both VCPI - Virginia Center for Policing Innovation, and Appriss, the company which developed and maintains this cutting edge technology.
The Virginia State Victim Notification Service (VINE) is a service through which victims of crime can use the telephone of internet to search for information regarding their offender's custody status and register to recieve telephone and e-mail notification when the offender's custody status changes. This service is brought to you by Virginia Department of Corrections and the Virginia Sheriff's Association via a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance for SAVIN that is managed by Virginia Center for Policing Innovation. The VINE toll-free number for Virginia VINE is 1-800-467-4943 or click the VINE link below.
