An Amber Alert is a public safety system that disseminates urgent bulletins about a missing child believed to be in imminent danger. The alert is broadcast through various channels, including radio, television, highway signs, and mobile devices, providing a description of the child, the suspected abductor, and any relevant vehicle information. The goal of an Amber Alert is to quickly mobilize the public to assist law enforcement in locating the missing child and apprehending the perpetrator, increasing the chances of a safe recovery. Specific criteria must be met before an Amber Alert is issued, typically including confirmation of an abduction, reasonable belief of imminent danger to the child, and sufficient descriptive information to aid in identification.
