How can I find out if someone is in jail, when someone in jail can be visited and any other information about persons in jail?
The River Falls Police Department does not have a jail. Please contact the Pierce County Jail directly at 715-273-5051 or the St. Croix County Jail at 715-386-4752 to inquire about someone.

Another resource is Wisconsin VINE (WI-VINE). WI-VINE is an online resource where crime victims and the public can access information about offenders who are in the custody of the County Sheriff and also receive automated notification if the status of the offender changes. This service is provided by your County Sheriff and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections in order to keep crime victims and the public informed regarding individuals placed into the county jail.

Victims and other citizens can register for VINE (Victim Information & Notification Everyday) by calling the toll-free number 1-888-944-8463 or visiting the website. You will be able to register to receive automated telephone notification and/or email notification when there is a change in the offender's custody status. The Wisconsin VINE service is anonymous and confidential.
