Interstate Compact Offender Tracking System ICOTS VINEWatch As you know, the Interstate Compact Offender Tracking System (ICOTS) is a web-based system that facilitates the transfer of supervision for probationers and parolees from one state to another. For automated notification purposes, Appriss, located here in Louisville KY, has interfaced some key ICOTS data with VINEWatch, which is a secure administrative web portal. Because key data is stored in ICOTS VINEWatch, you, as victim advocates and criminal justice professionals, now have the ability to register victims for notifications. Your login Access to features within ICOTS VINEWatch is based upon your role. You will only be able to see your state’s data. Here are the key features that I’ll demonstrate today.
