Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird has relaunched the Protective Order Notification System, allowing crime survivors to receive updates on their protective orders against offenders. The system, part of the Iowa Victim Information and Notification Everyday (IowaVINE) program, is designed for civil protective orders related to domestic violence and sexual abuse. Survivors can receive automated notifications by phone, internet, or email, with live operators available for assistance. Signing up for IowaVINE notifications is separate from updates provided by the Iowa Department of Corrections and Board of Parole.
