The Nevada VINE system ended on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 9:00am. This system was replaced by Nevada S.A.V.E. (Custody Notifications for Survivors, Advocates, Victims, and Enforcement). 

SAVE is a free, anonymous, 24-hour, computer-based service provided by the State of Nevada to allow for notification of custody movement for inmates within the State of Nevada. SAVE allows victims of crime two important features: information and notification. Visit save.nv.gov to search for inmates still in custody beginning Thursday, August 28, 2025. 

Current Users: No action needed by current users. All current registered recipients of custody notifications will be transfered into the new system to continue receiving notifications.  

New Users: On Aucust 28, 2025, new users will visit save.nv.gov, instead of vinelink.com to register for inmate custody notifications. 

More information forthcoming.

Do not depend solely on the SAVE service for your protection.
If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the inmate has already been released.

Safety Plan:

The Washoe County Sheriff's Office and the SAVE company cannot guarantee the safety of victims. Victims must take the necessary precautions to keep themselves safe. The following is a limited safety list:

  1. Know your surroundings and escape routes.
  2. Tell employer, friends, and family of the circumstances so they are aware of any danger.
  3. Use code words with children.
  4. Inform school administrators for your child's safety as well as yours.
  5. Change your pattern. Don't do the same thing the same day at the same time.
  6. Consider an alarm system for your home.
  7. If you have a cell phone, keep it with you at all times.
  8. Keep your vehicle fuel tank full at all times.
