Washington Victim Information and Notification Everyday (WA VINE)Our HistoryThe Washington Victim Information and Notification Everyday (WA VINE) system is operated by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) as directed by RCW 36.28A.040 and RCW 36.28A.410. WA VINE is part of the VINE national platform. Agencies contributing to WA VINE include:
A Service Provider Directory is available as a component of the WA VINE system. The Service Provider Directory connects WA VINE users to service providers that may be able to assist them with a specific need. Service providers, please click here to review WASPC’s policy regarding the Service Provider Directory or click here to submit your request to be included in the directory. Requests are reviewed once per week. WASPC offers a variety of education and promotional materials for WA VINE, including brochures, pens, stress balls and other items. Please click here to submit an order. Training about the WA VINE system is available upon request to criminal justice agencies, advocacy agencies and other community partners. Contact [email protected] for details. Offender Custody InformationWA VINE provides offender custody status information as well as automated custody status notifications for registrants. WA VINE does not provide court or case related information and WA VINE does not provide sex offender notifications. Registration for offender custody status notifications does not automatically register users for protection order notifications. WA VINE provides custody status information through a series of individualized interfaces with each participating correctional facility in the State of Washington that houses offenders overnight. WA VINE does not provide Juvenile Rehabilitation, Juvenile Detention or non-participating tribal jail information. Every fifteen (15) to thirty (30) minutes, WA VINE receives data from each agency. Data is utilized to provide updated custody status information for WA VINE, and to provide custody status notifications to those who register. If a jail or prison does not provide updated custody status information to WA VINE, a notification cannot be provided to those who have registered. WA VINE does not provide advance release information or notifications. All information and notifications will be provided upon receipt of data from each facility. Notifications provided include:
If you have utilized the WA VINE system and would like to provide your feedback, please contact [email protected], or complete a WA VINE survey. Protective Order Information – CURRENTLY OFFLINEWA VINE provides protective order information as well as automated custody status notifications for those who choose to register. Registration for a protective order notification and custody status notification are separate processes and registrations will not link between the two functions of VINE. In Washington State, WA VINE receives protective order data from the Washington State Patrol. Data is received hourly and requires a law enforcement professional to enter the data into the Washington Crime Information Center (WACIC) database. Protective Order information and notification is available for protective orders issued in accordance with the following state statutes:
The VINE Protective Order (WA VPO) system is a free and confidential service that allows petitioners to register for notification when a protective order of any type has been served by law enforcement. WA VPO provides the following notifications:
In Washington State, the process to obtain a protective order and register for notification includes multiple steps. First, the petitioner must file for a protective order in the court of law, and the protective order must be granted by the court. Second, the court of issuance must transmit the court ordered protective order to the local law enforcement agency for entry and service. Third, the local law enforcement agency must enter the order into WACIC, serve the order upon the respondent, and enter service information into WACIC. Once the order has been entered into WACIC, petitioners and protected parties may access WA VINE to register for notification. Once the order has been served upon the respondent, the respondent may access WA VINE to register for notification. WA VINE will provide notifications to registered individuals when relevant data is received from WACIC regarding the specific protective order. Thurston County Superior Court Pilot Project - Pending Implementation
WASPC is in the final stages of implementing a pilot project with the Thurston County Superior Court. This project was made possible with the support of Byrne Jag Grant Funds, the commitment and participation of the Thurston County Superior Court, partnership with the Administrative Office of the Courts, and the support and efforts of our partners at VINE.

Exemption from Public DisclosureInformation stored in the WA VINE system is exempt from public disclosure under RCW 36.28A.455. All registrant information is protected and cannot be disclosed to the public. An offender, respondent or any other community member will not be informed that someone has registered to be notified about a protective order or custody status. Important Notice!WA VINE and WA VPO utilize notification delays and phone call suppression timeframes. These standards have been implemented to ensure the safety of custody staff and to promote a system that is not a nuisance through the overnight hours. Below is a list of delays and suppression timeframes for your awareness:
