Effective October 30, 2023 the State of Oregon transitioned to a new service providers for victim notification. The State of Oregon recognized some outdated technology and discovered complications with data exchange with the local county,  jail management systems.

According to a brief issued by the Oregon Department of Corrections, improvements to
victim notification through Visor will be accomplished in at least the five following ways:

1.     Real-time data exchange will enable real-time notifications allowing DOC to              provide more value, safety, and peace of mind to end-users.

2.    VISOR’s modern user-interface will be easier to navigate. Registrants will have the ability to manage their notifications, make changes themselves, and locate information more naturally.

3.    Registrant data will be more secure by being stored and maintained in-house and unavailable for use by other information distribution networks.

4.    Modern architecture and the potential for self-hosted solutions provide flexibility for enhancements and modifications if changes are required from the legislature or end-users in the future.

5.    Notification scripts to registrants can be immediately updated and delivered in the event of emergencies, such as natural disasters, without delay.

VISOR will provide a substantially more modern, user-friendly, timely, and efficient solution to endusers at a significantly reduced cost. This aligns with the Governor’s and the State’s guidelines to reduce government financial spending and replace or modernize outdated technology.

The State of Oregon will no longer be utilizing the progam, Vine Link. The new service provider, VISOR, is linked below for easy access to register for victim notifications.
