Easy Victim Registration for Notification

Both Stacy and I have been busy in hopes of making it easier for Victims to register for notification of the offenders movements, release, etc. Arkansas has a web based portal called VINELink (http://www.vinelink.com/) which allows victims to easily search for the offender and then easily register for notification. Last month we worked with Arkansas Department of Correction in establishing a link directly to VINELink website. After the offender is found and their current information is displayed a link for notification can be found above the picture of the offender. When a victim clicks on that link, the website changes to VINELink with the necessary information populated for registration. All the victim will need to do is to choose how they would like to receive notification, email or phone. This link has made an easy process even easier.

Since the Arkansas Department of Corrections was able to successfully add the link to their current information page, Stacy contacted Washington County Sheriff's Office to add a link to their Detainee Roster. It was successfully completed and added to the site earlier this month. This addition even made the new paper in the web edition of the Northwest Arkansas Times.

It is our hope that with the addition of these links to VINELink that victims will be informed and feel safer as they go through their day.
