VINELink

What VINELink does

VINELink helps people look up custody information and follow changes in an offender’s status. It is designed for victims, families, and others who need a direct way to check this information without relying on repeated calls to a law enforcement office. The app covers records from agencies across 48 states, making it more useful for searches that cross local or county boundaries.

Searches and notifications

You can use VINELink to search available custody records, then register for updates when the status of a selected person changes. Notifications can be sent through phone calls, email, text messages, or TTY, so the app is not limited to one contact method. An in-app notification area also provides a place to review previous updates.

• Search custody information from participating agencies
• Register for status-change notifications
• Choose phone, email, text, or TTY alerts
• Review notification history inside the app

Who it suits

VINELink is a practical reference tool rather than a general reading app. It suits people who need to monitor a specific custody record, including victims and their families, as well as anyone seeking public custody information. The value of the app depends on whether the relevant agency shares data through the service, so coverage may differ by location and record.
