South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification System (SAVIN) continue to upgrade and expand…….

In August 2016, the SAVIN System was launched and began providing a free, automated service that provides crime victims with vital information and notification 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Jackley says system service allows victims and others to obtain offender information and to register for notification of a change in offender status……

Jackley says they are able to provide the information at no additional cost to counties….

At the beginning,SAVIN received information from the South Dakota Unified Judicial System, South Dakota Department of Corrections and 3 county jails. Since then, the information feeds have increased to 10 county jails serving a total of 31 counties in South Dakota. Those jails include: Brookings, Clay, Codington, Davison, Hughes, Lake, Meade, Pennington, Union, and Yankton. Minnehaha County will be live by the end of April.
