Public Services
Minnesota VINE
The Minnesota State Victim Notification Service (VINE) is an anonymous, free, online service through which victims of crime
can use the telephone or Internet to search for information regarding their offender's custody status and register to receive
telephone and e-mail notification when the offender's custody status changes.
Under Minnesota law, victims of offenders in a Department of Corrections (DOC.) facility have additional rights to
notification and information; including notice of conditions of release, additional notification related to released predatory
offenders, notification of transfers to a less secure facility, and, if the offender re-enters a facility, that offender's
subsequent release. Receiving this information and notifications is not automatic; victims of DOC offenders who would like to
request notification of release, as well as the other notices and information they are entitled to, may submit their request
through Minnesota CHOICE or contact the DOC Victim Assistance Program.
This service is brought to you by the Becker County Sheriff's Office and the Minnesota Department of Corrections Victim
Assistance Program. To contact Minnesota VINE:
If you feel that you may be at risk, please take precautions as if the offender has already been released.
