AMBER Alert Collaborative Program to Help Find Missing
& Abducted Children
The AMBER Alert Program is a voluntary partnership
between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and
the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious
child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the
entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the
child.
AMBER Alerts
are broadcast through radio, television, road signs and all available
technology referred to as the AMBER Alert Secondary Distribution Program. These
broadcasts let law enforcement use the eyes and ears of the public to help
quickly locate an abducted child. The U.S. Department of Justice coordinates
the AMBER Alert program on a national basis.
The AMBER Alert Program was named in honor of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman who was abducted while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and was later found murdered. The program is used in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
