America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response (AMBER) Alert

The America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response (AMBER) Alert system was created after the abduction and murder of Amber Hagerman in 1996. AMBER Alerts are police-issued notifications providing information (e.g., about the abductor’s car, the child’s name, the child’s last known location) to the public in order to help locate a missing child and abductor.
