Many victims live in fear that the criminal offender who victimized them may someday return to do so again. For these victims and their families and friends, it is important to know if that offender is incarcerated in a correctional facility - and to know if and when that offender is released from custody.
If you would like to know if the offender is still incarcerated and wish to be notified when he/she is released, read the VINE information below.

The NYS Sheriff's Victim Hotline provides custody status of any offender housed in any of New York's county jails, State Correctional Facilities or other county correctional facilities including NYC jails.
In addition to providing custody status information to callers, the Sheriff's VICTIM HOTLINE also has an automatic notification feature.

The VICTIM HOTLINE will also let you leave a phone number where you can be notified when that offender is released, transferred, or escapes.
What do I need to do?
Call 1-888-846-3469 from a touch-tone phone and follow the directions. the VICTIM HOTLINE will tell you the custody status of the offender.
If the offender is in custody, you can leave a phone number where you want to be notified when there is a change in the offender's custody status. Enter the area code and phone number, followed by the pound (#) key.
When the VICTIM HOTLINE asks, make up and enter a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) code that will be easy for you to remember. The New York Sheriffs' VICTIM HOTLINE will ask for the PIN code when it calls you. When the New York Sheriffs' VICTIM HOTLINE calls, 1-888-846-3469, enter your PIN when asked.
