缅因州寻求250 000美元,用于启动全州VINE囚犯释放警报,改善受害者安全和通知。 Maine seeks $250,000 to launch statewide VINE alerts for inmate releases, improving victim safety and notification.

由佩诺布斯科特县警长特洛伊·莫顿领导的缅因州治安官正在寻求25万美元的国家资金,用于在全州推出VINE系统。 VINE系统是一个免费应用程序,可实时发布囚犯释放警报和进入监狱记录。 Maine sheriffs, led by Penobscot County Sheriff Troy Morton, are seeking $250,000 in state funding for a statewide rollout of the VINE system, a free app that provides real-time inmate release alerts and jail record access. 该方案已在几个县开展,自2024年以来曾发出约6 000份通知,使受害者、证人和家庭能够收到匿名警报并获得社区资源。 The program, already active in several counties and used to send about 6,000 notifications since 2024, allows victims, witnesses, and families to receive anonymous alerts and access community resources. 缅因州是最后一个没有这种制度的国家,官员们说,这项每年花费150 000美元维持的倡议将改善公共安全和通知受害者,超过目前的法律限制。 Maine is the last state without such a system, and officials say the initiative—costing $150,000 annually to maintain—would improve public safety and victim notification beyond current legal limits.
