Grundy County Sheriff Rodney Herring has announced a new victim notification system that can be utilized through the sheriff’s department app.
The service will allow victims of offenders incarcerated in the Grundy County Detention Center to request and receive up-to-the-minute notifications of changes in an offender’s status, such as being in custody or released from custody. The service is a collaboration with Appriss, which manages VineWatch, a victim notification system.
To utilize the service, victims can search for an offender within the “Inmates and Jail Info” section of the app. After selecting the desired offender, select “Notify Me of Status Changes,” then select “language preference” and “Type of Notification” (email, phone-voice or text) and enter the corresponding information. Users will be required to choose a four-digit PIN and then will be able to submit their request.
The Grundy County Sheriff’s Department app is free and can be downloaded on the Apple App store and Google Play.
