SOLVABILITY FACTORS CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING ACTIVE
CASE FOLLOW-UP:
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
The Reno County Sheriff’s Office is actively committed to intervention and prosecution of all domestic violence cases. Criminal charges are filed by the state and not by the victim of domestic violence. A case will not be dismissed because the victim requests that the charges be dismissed. Prosecution is at the discretion of the District Attorney. Information about your case may be made public. The victim of a crime or the victim’s family shall be notified by the District Attorney of the right to be present at any public hearing where the accused or the convicted person has the right to appear and be heard.
If you are identified as a victim of a Domestic Violence case filed by the Reno County Sheriff’s Office, you should be aware of certain conditions which apply to the case and the suspect.
A four-hour hold is placed on Domestic Violence arrestees. This means the person arrested, will not be allowed to bond out for at least four hours. In some cases, a longer hold is applied.
The District Court places a no-contact order on the suspect after a Domestic Violence arrest. This means the suspect is not allowed to contact the victim after his/her release from jail. The no contact order is in place until the judge dismisses the order. If the suspect contacts you while the no-contact order is in place, contact the police or sheriff at your location for investigation and possible charges against the suspect.
The Reno County Sheriff’s Office participates in the VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) program. To receive notice of the suspects release from jail, visit www.vinelink.com, call 1-866-574-8463, or download the VINE mobile app and follow the instructions. TTY users can call 1-866-847-1298.
