Who to Call and How to Use VINE for Licking County Justice Center

VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is a free, phone-based service. It lets you check an inmate's current status at the Licking County Justice Center and sign up for automatic alerts when that status changes. Most people use it for one reason: instant notification when someone gets released. To register, call 1-800-770-0192. The line is available 24/7.

  1. Call VINE at 1-800-770-0192 - It’s available any time, seven days a week.
  2. Use the right phone prompts - If you’re calling from a rotary phone, dial the number and wait to speak with an operator. If you’re calling from a touch-tone phone, dial the number and follow the automated instructions.
  3. Register one or two reliable phone numbers - You must provide one or two numbers where you can be reached, or where someone you trust can be reached. Don’t register a number that reaches a switchboard.
  4. Set and keep track of your 4-digit PIN - You’ll need this PIN to confirm you received an alert.
  5. Register even if you already gave your information to police - All victims still must call VINE to register for notification, even after providing their name and address to the arresting officer.

After you register, VINE sends alerts immediately when an inmate is released from the Licking County Justice Center. That instant notification is the whole point - so take a moment to set up your phone numbers and PIN correctly. You don't want to miss the call.

Heads up: VINE will keep calling your registered number until someone picks up and enters the correct 4-digit PIN. If it hits voicemail, it leaves a message - but keeps dialing for up to 24 hours or until the PIN is entered. Don't be surprised if a call comes late at night.
