Amber Alert And Emergency Response System

The North Dakota Public Alerts website is useful as it contains important information concerning public alerts. If there is an Amber Alert or a Blue Alert, the home page would display the information pertaining to the case. Also, on this page are activation forms to submit an Amber or Blue Alert. The website addresses several topics of information regarding Amber Alerts. The goal of this alert system is to provide the surrounding communities with information that can assist in the safe finding and return of a missing child. The site is helpful as it gives the criteria that is required for an Amber Alert to be activated. The website includes information regarding child safety tips to prevent abductions, rules for safety and parent recording keeping. It provides helpful links, similar to that of Amber Alert, that may assist parents in finding their missing child. Some of these links are Child Alert Foundation, Child Find of America, and Vanished

In an attempt to acquaint readers with the Indiana Amber Alert System’s technology, this report will review its source, users, funding and relationship with the Emergency Alert System, sometimes called the Emergency Broadcast System.

Local information will be discussed from the perspective of an area law enforcement officer. Statewide information will be touched upon from the perspective of the director of the Indiana Amber Alert Clearinghouse in Indianapolis.

Losing your child is probably the most heart pumping terrifying thing a parent could ever

“Ma’am, I know you’re scared; I have officers on the way to you. What is your son’s name?”

AMBER Alerts are issued after law enforcement determines that there has been abduction. Law enforcement must believe that the missing child is in danger of harm. An Alert can only be issued by law enforcement. Abductions by strangers are the most dangerous and are the primary mission of the Alert. AMBER Alerts are issued for children under the age of seventeen. Each state has its own age limits, but the majority uses seventeen as the cut off. Descriptive information is given of the missing child, the abductor, and the abductor’s vehicle used in the abduction. The missing child’s name is placed into the National Crisis Information Center (NCIC) system. Not only is the AMBER Alert named after Amber Hagerman, but AMBER also stands for America’s Missing Broadcast Emergency Response (Child Abduction, AMBER Alert, and Crime Control Theater).

A child being kidnapped is a parent’s worst nightmare. This happens to thousands of parents each year. For this, we have a system called, AMBER (America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response). This system has been around for almost twenty one years, saving hundreds of lives.

Their next act in making it a more effective program is the Instant Amber. With Instant Amber, parents are able to have another tool to help them if they ever need it in an emergency such as a child goes missing because all the information is gathered beforehand as a preemptive strike. By 2005, a national alert system coordinated by the U.S Department of Justice extended all 50 states.

After Texas began using the Amber Alert system more routinely, more states began adopting the Amber Alert as well. 3 years later, the White House held a conference to discuss Missing and Exploited and runaway children, with the result of the President appointing the first ever

The current American emergency alert broadcast system traces its roots back to the Cold War Era. The years have passed, technology has advanced and the American population has grown. Over the years, the alert broadcast system has changed in fits and starts. Overall, however, it has failed to keep pace with the population increase and technological environment. Attempts have been made to plug the gaps in broadcast coverage, in reality, the stopgap and partial methods are inadequate. A multitude of technological advances exists and if utilized, could serve to alert the populace. It is dangerous to have an aging, non-integrated emergency alert broadcast system. Even though an integrated alert network would be expensive, it could save countless lives. Despite the financial costs, it is long past time to build, organize and deploy a comprehensive, integrated, nationwide, multi-communication platform to protect the lives of citizens by issuing alerts to the broadest spectrum of citizens possible.

“University of Iowa officials received a report of a sexual assault that occurred during the early hours of Saturday, March 4, 2017 by a white male at a west side residence hall. No further details are available.”(“Crime Alert”, DoS) It is not a typical weekend if my email is not bombarded with Crime Alerts from the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety. Normally I brush these messages off and continue to enjoy my weekend, but this time it was different. My floormates in my dorm call me over urgently, “Maxx, did you see the crime alert in the email? We think it was Christian (Name changed for privacy).” Not for one second did I believe that it was Christian, but my

The future of Emergency Managers (EM) will be greatly enhanced by seeing more and more people obtaining their bachelors degrees in this field. This is credited to more colleges offering the program, and seeing the need for it in todays ever changeling, and changing environment. Having a BA in EM could also include a chance for promotions, and higher salaries.
