Today, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced a delay in the transition from the state’s current victim notification system, VINE, to the new Nevada S.A.V.E. Notifications system. Originally scheduled for July 1, the change will now occur in August to provide additional time for community partners to implement the new system and address any potential issues.
“This extended data collection period will allow my office and our community partners to ensure Nevadans are equipped with the best notification system possible,” said AG Ford. He assured that there would be no interruptions in service or notifications during this period, as VINE will continue to operate until Nevada S.A.V.E. Notifications goes live.
The new system represents a shift from an incident-based approach to an offender-based one. This means victims can register for notifications related specifically to an offender rather than each law enforcement incident. Additionally, users can set blackout dates or off hours when they do not wish to receive notifications.
Data within the Nevada S.A.V.E. Notifications system is owned by the State of Nevada. Current VINE users will not need to re-register unless they use the VINE App; those users must re-register for NV S.A.V.E. Notifications when registration opens in late August.
Nevada S.A.V.E. Notifications is expected to go live in late August, at which point VINE will be decommissioned.
