Carson City, NV — Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford has announced a delay in the transition from the current victim notification system, VINE, to the new Nevada S.A.V.E. Notifications system. The shift, initially planned for July 1, will now occur in August. This postponement is intended to give community partners additional time for implementation and troubleshooting.
"This extended data collection period will allow my office and our community partners to ensure Nevadans are equipped with the best notification system possible,” stated AG Ford. He reassured 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 differs from its predecessor by focusing on offenders rather than incidents. Victims can register for notifications related specifically to an offender and receive alerts whenever an incident involving that offender occurs.
Additionally, Nevada S.A.V.E. Notifications offers users the ability to set blackout dates or off hours when they do not wish to receive notifications. The State of Nevada owns all data within this new system.
Current VINE users will not need to re-register unless they are using the VINE App; these users must re-register for Nevada S.A.V.E. Notifications once registration opens in late August.
