VINE – Protective Order Design Goals

Provide a convenient means for Maryland Law Enforcement Agencies to notify VINE within 2 hours of service of a protective order

Provide a mechanism for a Maryland Law Enforcement Agency to be notified when another Law Enforcement Agency serves one of its protective orders

Provide an emergency notification system in case of a METERS outage

To make an accommodation for difference between NCIC policy and Maryland State Law on the Date of Expiration

What Happens if METERS Is Down?

out of service The website will be accessible from a standard internet connection To access this website you will need to be a METERS user

Date of Expiration: NCIC Policy vs. Maryland State Law NCIC Policy states that POs expire at 12:00 am on the Date of Expiration.

Maryland State Law states that POs expire at 12:00 am on the day after the

Date of Expiration.

For Protective Order - VINE notification both need to be accommodated. For METERS Protective Order Enter and Modify Forms, a checkbox will be added for service

on the Date of Expiration.

Direct Notification transactions will allow the Date of Service to be equal to the

Date of Expiration.

If served before the Date of Expiration the PO will be sent to VINE, METERS,

and NCIC.

If served on the Date of Expiration the PO will be sent only to VINE.

If served after the Date of Expiration an error message will be sent to the user.
