Which items are included in VCIN?

• A. Custody and visitation
• B. Protective orders detailing who an individual is to stay away from
• C. Pending divorce court orders
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

VCIN is meant to provide a complete view of information that can affect safety and enforcement actions, so it includes a range of court and protective records. Protective orders specify who a person must avoid, and knowing about active orders is essential for officer safety, enforcement, and compliance during calls, arrests, or investigations. Pending divorce court orders can involve temporary arrangements or conditions that relate to custody and contact, which officers may need to reference to ensure they’re acting within the current court directives. Custody and visitation records, when tied to ongoing family court matters, can also carry conditions or restrictions relevant to interactions or enforcement actions. Because each of these items can influence how law enforcement responds and how enforcement or safety measures are applied, all of them are part of VCIN.
