5-09/030.10 - Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE)


5-09/030.00 - Domestic Violence
5-09/030.15 - Domestic Violence - Elder Abuse Liaison

The Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) is a warning system whereby victims would be notified of their perpetrator’s impending or actual release from the Department’s custody.

Field Deputies’ Responsibilities:

When handling a domestic violence incident, the deputy shall:

  • Give the VINE information sheet to the domestic violence victim;
  • Explain the VINE program to the victim; and
  • If an incident report is written, document in the incident report that a VINE information sheet was given to the victim and the VINE program was explained to the victim.

Release Responsibilities for Domestic Violence Arrestees/Inmates:

Prior to the physical release of an arrestee/inmate with a domestic violence charge, whether it be bail, bond, citation, or 849b1 P.C., the arrestee/inmate’s release shall be processed electronically through the Justice Data Interface Controller System (JDIC) or the Automated Justice Information System (AJIS).

During those occasions when the AJIS network is out of service, (i.e., routine maintenance), arrestees/inmates with a domestic violence charge shall not be released until such time as the AJIS network is brought back on line.

Due to the urgency of keeping AJIS updated with the immediate release information, every Unit Commander whose Unit releases arrestees/inmates with a domestic violence charge shall have personnel available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to update AJIS.
