Certain criteria must be met in order for law enforcement to issue an Amber Alert to a missing child age 17 or younger.
First, there must be a reasonable belief by law enforcement that a kidnapping has occurred. In addition, the law enforcement agency believes that the child is at imminent risk of serious bodily injury or death.
Another criterion is that there is sufficient descriptive information about the victim and kidnapping that will aid in the recovery of the child, such as a vehicle description or license plate number.
As part of Amber Alert, the child’s name and other critical date elements, including the flag of child abduction, are entered into the National Crime Information Center.
The Amber Alert system, used in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, was created in 1996. It’s short for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and created as a 9-year legacy — Amber Hagerman, who was kidnapped while riding her bike in Arlington Texas, and later killed.
