| Victim
Notification Program |
The Nolan County
Sheriff's Office, along with the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Homeland Security Investigations
(HSI), are committed to protecting the public and ensuring
that the rights of victims are carefully observed. To
achieve this commitment, the Nolan County Sheriff's Office
is encouraging resident victims of crimes, from alien
offenders, to register
with the ICE Victim Notification program.
Similar to VINElink, the ICE Victim Notification Program
is a free and anonymous service made available, by HSI
that allows eligible victims and witnesses to obtain reliable
and timely information regarding a criminal alien's release
from custody.
Once the criminal alien is placed in ICE custody, the
Victim Notification Program will provide information
to registered, eligible victims and witnesses to be
notified of release related activities. ICE will make
every effort to keep victims and witnesses advised of
the release status of the offender.
Registered victims and witnesses
will be advised when the criminal alien is released,
or removed, from custody.
On occasion, ICE will transfer criminal aliens between
custodial facilities. ICE will not routinely notify
victims or witnesses of these internal transfers. However,
any victim or witness may learn the location of an offender
by calling the Victim Notification Program.
