What is an AMBER Alert?
Alerts are disseminated through multiple channels including radio, television, road signs, cellphones, and other data-enabled devices.
Last year, the AMBER Alert system led to the discovery of 1,200 missing children, while emergency alerts played a crucial role in rescuing 180 children.
An alert will only be issued if there has been an abduction, the child is in danger of severe harm or death, and there is specific information available about the child, the suspect, or the suspect’s vehicle.
According to Alan S. Nanavaty, the Executive Director of Special Programs for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, every child who appears in an AMBER Alert has been reported missing to law enforcement. The primary objective of an AMBER Alert is to immediately mobilize the community and seek their assistance in locating and safely retrieving a missing child, as stated in an email to Newsweek.
According to Nanavaty, the number of AMBER Alerts issued each year is typically less than 200. These alerts are distributed through various channels such as radio, TV, road signs, cell phones, and other data-enabled devices. It is worth noting that the AMBER Alert system is utilized across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Indian country, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
