Nevada SAVE Replaced VINE
Nevada traded VINE for a newer system. On August 27, 2025, the Attorney General announced the switch to Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification Everyday, known as SAVE. It went live the next day. VINE registrations were shut down on August 28, and Nevada notifications from that platform ended on August 29. Most existing accounts moved over automatically. App users did not, so they must register again. The SAVE help line is (866) 393-5445, and questions by email go to NVSave@ag.nv.gov.
SAVE reports custody and supervision data from participating agencies. It stands apart from the jail, NDOC, parole board, or court records themselves. The old VINE was built around incidents, while SAVE tracks the offender. Updates arrive at intervals, and the service is not an official record. The legacy VINELink site preserves the former branding for reference.
Do not register through an old Nevada VINE path when SAVE is available.
Check a Carson City Arrest
SAVE is the statewide system to use. It takes a full or partial name or an ID number. Unsure of the spelling? The service itself recommends a simple fix. Type just the first three letters of each name. A loose name match can pull the wrong arrest record. Check every identifier and facility shown before trusting a hit. A "not found" answer only means SAVE had no match right then.
- Open Nevada SAVE.
- Enter the full or partial name, or use an available ID number, then complete the captcha.
- Compare results using the facility, custody or supervision state, and any displayed identifiers.
- Open the matching result and note the check time.
- Confirm urgent local custody through Carson City jail information at (775) 283-5245.
The Carson City recent arrests hub covers the full booking record and the court route. SAVE is not a historical arrest archive.
What Nevada SAVE Shows
Whatever fields the live result shows is what you get. If the service displays no booking photo, charge, bond, or release date, do not assume one exists.
| Information | Use |
|---|---|
| Custody or supervision status | A statewide status snapshot, subject to source updates. |
| Facility or agency | Identifies the reported custodian, not necessarily the arresting agency. |
| Identifier | Helps distinguish people with similar names. |
| Notification options | Allows registration for supported status changes. |
| Charges, bond, or photo | Availability is not guaranteed and is not final court disposition. |
A move to state prison changes the picture. Once someone transfers from the Carson City Sheriff's Detention Facility to NDOC, that agency becomes the better official source. NDOC tracks people serving prison sentences, not a person newly arrested and held locally.
Register for Nevada SAVE Alerts
You can sign up for SAVE alerts straight from a person's record. A full user account is optional, though it helps you manage registrations. Delivery can come by phone, text, email, or teletypewriter, and carrier charges may apply.
- Locate the correct person in SAVE.
- Select the notification option attached to that record.
- Choose an available contact method and provide the requested details.
- Complete any confirmation or PIN step shown by the live service.
- Keep the registration information private and update changed contact details.
The official SAVE registration screen is shown below.
An account is a separate step from the basic registration tied to a record.
Carson City SAVE Limits
SAVE itself warns that its records may lag, contain errors, or stay incomplete. Release dates can shift. An offline-jail flag exists too. Still, SAVE does not clearly confirm Carson City's live technical participation, and old VINE wording on local pages proves nothing. Confirm coverage through SAVE support or the jail. Treat alerts as a safety aid, never a substitute for emergency services or a sound personal safety plan. For a fresh Carson City booking, start with Arrested Today and the official-linked inmate tools. State prison calls for the NDOC offender search. Federal custody? Use the BOP locator, since SAVE is no federal jail finder. ICE runs its own detainee lookup.
NDOC Alerts After Sentencing
The NDOC Victim Services page explains that registered victims receive mailed notices after sentencing. SAVE plays a supplemental role there. Parole Board contacts and NDOC notices stay separate from SAVE.
A statewide alert is a convenience, not the official NDOC record. The department keeps its own file. Someone booked in Carson City can end up released, in state custody, in federal custody, or on supervision, so note which custody state applies and the date it came from. For anything formal, the custodian's record still governs.
Carson City Alert Events
SAVE registration can generate notices for release, transfer, escape, death, or other custody changes. Events depend on the agency and the person's record. The live registration screen shows which events apply. Never assume a particular alert exists just because another Nevada record offers it. Delivery also hinges on valid contact details and carrier service. Timing matters. An alert can lag the actual event. The agency must update its system and push the change through first. Treat any message as a prompt to verify. This counts above all when safety planning or travel rides on the timing. For local facts, go straight to Carson City jail information. For mailed notices after someone enters state prison, NDOC Victim Services is the official route. Keep your registration current, too. A changed number, blocked email, full inbox, or forgotten PIN can break delivery. SAVE should supplement direct agency contact and a personal safety plan, never replace them.
Arrest and Custody States
"Arrested in Carson City" tells you little about where a person sits now. He may still be in booking, held locally, released, transferred to NDOC after sentencing, held in a federal system, or on community supervision. SAVE can bridge some Nevada custody and supervision records. Even so, each official custodian keeps its own source.
- Booking
- The intake process after an arrest, before every field necessarily appears online.
- Local custody
- Confinement at the Carson City Sheriff’s Detention Facility at the stated check time.
- Transfer
- Movement to another agency or facility, which can make a local roster result disappear.
- Disposition
- The court’s later outcome, not the charge shown when booked.
A name can drop off SAVE for several reasons. The agency holding the person can confirm a release or transfer, and the court file shows the legal outcome.
Confirm Carson City Custody
The official Jail Information page lists (775) 283-5245 and points to the current-inmate search. The Detention division adds a second inmate lookup. Both answer local custody questions faster than SAVE. Neither page promises a fixed refresh schedule or a complete history.
Ask one narrow question when you call. Staff release only what the law allows. Release times cannot be predicted. Jail personnel will not recommend a bail agency. Someone listed at noon may be gone by evening after a release, transfer, or portal update.
Need written proof once live status changes? Use the Carson City public-records route. Give the person's name, an approximate booking date, and the booking number if you have it. Name the intake, release, or transfer record you want. Not every field or photograph is guaranteed in the response.
SAVE Is Not Court Disposition
SAVE reports custody and supervision status, nothing more. It is not the court's account of an arrest. The Carson City Justice Court clerk handles first appearances, bail matters, misdemeanors, and felony preliminary hearings. District Court takes the matters within its jurisdiction. Bring a case number and corroborating identifiers when you request a file. An alert only says someone moved or was released. The court record tells the rest of the story. For the legal proceeding itself, the case file is the source.
Verify Carson City SAVE Coverage
Some older Carson City jail pages still mention Nevada VINE and its former phone number. That wording records the old statewide program. It cannot promise alerts from a service that no longer runs. Nevada's current route is SAVE. Its own instructions warn that a jail can sit offline. Carson City's live connection status carries no guarantee. Check SAVE first. Then confirm the local custody fact with the Carson City Sheriff's Detention Facility. Search the person's name or ID in SAVE and write down the date and time. No result? Try a partial-name search and recheck the spelling. Then use the current-inmate routes on the Jail Information and Detention pages. A match in the local jail tool can be newer than SAVE. A SAVE match may instead point to supervision. It may point to state custody. Read the named facility and status before assuming a Carson City jail bed. Support answers the phone around the clock at (866) 393-5445. Email to NVSave@ag.nv.gov usually draws a reply within three business days. Both channels explain registration or coverage, but neither turns SAVE into an official detention record. Need written proof? Request the specific intake, release, or transfer record from the agency that holds it. A released person may vanish from SAVE. An earlier registration can stay active for a return to custody. So a missing result proves neither that no Carson City arrest occurred nor that release happened. Portal lag, an offline source, transfer, spelling, and system scope can all skew the answer. Save the status label. Write down the check time. Then turn to the court file for what came next.
