When a child is abducted, every moment count, and AMBER Alerts makes every effort to capture those precious moments through an emergency broadcast to the general public when a child has been abducted in the area.
Delivered via radio, television, and cable stations, and displayed on electronic traffic-condition signs, AMBER Alerts request public assistance in recovering the child. These are legitimate alerts run through the Department of Justice. As of the end of 2006, the program has helped rescue more than 230 children nationwide since 1996 — and with your help more children may be saved.
You can also choose to get local alerts via e-mail, and through text messages to your cell phone or other wireless device. It will take you moments to register for these alerts, but the benefits could last a child’s lifetime.
