Sheriff Tom Grills brings VINE/SAVIN program to Ripley County

Statewide service offers added protection for crime victims and the public

 The Ripley County residents now have fast access to custody information on offenders throughout Indiana.  “Protecting the citizens of Ripley County is always our highest priority,” said Sheriff Grills.  “Ripley County’s VINE/SAVIN provides an added level of protection because it gives everyone access to timely and accurate information on offenders in our county, and throughout the state.  We’re delighted that we could make this important service available to the public.”

People calling 1-866-959-VINE are asked to provide an offender’s name or booking number.  After the system has provided the relevant custody information, it asks the caller if they would like to register to be automatically notified when the offender is released or transferred.  Those choosing to register provide a phone number, and a four-digit personal identification number (PIN), which they will later use to confirm the notification call.  Citizens can also go on line at www.vinelink.com to locate and register.  More information
