VINE - The Wyoming Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification Service will tell you if an offender is in jail and/or prison and will give you other important custody information. This service will also let you leave a phone number where you want to be called automatically when that offender is released, transferred, or there is some other change in status. For more information please visit their website.


In addition to the VINE system, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), administers a similar notification program which allows eligible victims and witnesses to obtain information regarding a criminal alien's release from custody. Victims and Witnesses that wish to take advantage of this program are required to register with that agency. Please visit their website for more information.
