Vine Notification Procedures: The VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) program has been implemented by the Sheriff’s Department. VINE uses state-of-the-art technology with a centralized “Call Center” to inform concerned persons about vital L.A. County inmate information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The VINE system interfaces with the Automated Justice Interface System (AJIS), for its information; therefore, it is mandatory that all inmate information, especially releases, is updated in AJIS as soon as possible. In addition, every time the inmate’s information is updated with court dates, release dates, etc., VINE is automatically notified.
Each Branch shall maintain a supply of VINE pamphlets that explains the program. The VINE Corporation will provide the pamphlets in Spanish and English, and a quantity will be maintained at Bureau Headquarters for distribution to the Branches, when needed.
Any Court Services personnel who becomes aware of a victim (or other concerned citizen) who could benefit by the VINE program shall provide him/her with one of the pamphlets.
