Victim Notification
The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office utilizes VINE, an automated victim notification system. The VINE system provides an added level of protection to the citizens of DeKalb County through a solution that lets victims of crimes and other concerned citizens access timely and reliable information about offenders. This service is offered free of charge, is completely confidential, and features multiple language support.
Offering peace of mind, the VINE service lets victims anonymously check on an offender’s custody status by calling a toll free phone number, visiting their website, or using the mobile app.
Victims can also register to receive automated notifications about changes in the status of an offender’s custody via email, text, or phone call. TTY (hearing impaired) service is also available.
