"The time immediately following when an order of protection is served can be the most dangerous for a victim of domestic violence. But, when armed with the technology that the Order of Protection Notification Service system provides, victims of domestic violence can receive timely notifications and take appropriate steps to protect themselves and their loved ones from further harm. I encourage victims to sign up for this service as soon as possible."
"I feel safe because I was alerted to changes involving my offender. Had it not been for VINE, the results could have been terrible."

"I wish I could articulate to you how afraid I was of John. I know that should he get out of prison, he will find me and kill me. I have no doubt in my mind. However, I feel I can put my safety in the hands of VINE and you won't let me down. Thank you for the secure feeling I've not had for six years. And that feeling is priceless."

"VINE is the greatest innovation we have to fight domestic violence crime created in the last three decades. It saves lives."

"My offender has been arrested in different jurisdictions. It was really hard to keep up until I found out about VINE and I did a search on your website. It's such a relief to know where he is. My case has been going around the court system for 18 months. It can give you a feeling of hopelessness and that no one cares. Your system changes that for me."
