Amber Alert And Emergency Response System

While the court may not have made a decision which began the legislative process changing a law, the Amber Hagerman case is still a landmark case because it is responsible for The Amber Alert system. Because the idea to quickly find Amber via the media and broadcast agencies was successful, the idea of using the media to locate a child became more routine. It is designed to locate and retrieve a child who has been kidnapped and or missing and in possible danger. The word Amber became an acronym for America’s Missing Broadcast Emergency Response.

In this case the LTV net of the acquisition costs would be $1305,5, still higher than the one the company would earn whether the customer opts for a not automatic payment. Moreover, offering 8 years of fixed price ($480) is still more profitable than the case in which the chose a not autopay method, but it is, in my opinion, not recommendable, because of the negative effect that it could have on the customer that chose this option before. Indeed they could decide to resign the contract and try to get a new one with the more convenient conditions. (Table 2)

During a twelve hour shift, the dispatchers never know what is going to occur, nor do they know when it is going to occur. Hours of boredom can be followed by minutes of sheer panic and terror. They deal with everything from domestic violence to medical calls, traffic stops to house fires. A 911 dispatcher doubles as a communications liaison for police officers, deputies, medical personnel, and fire fighters. Emergency telecommunications often known as dispatching can be broken down into four major categories: law enforcement, fire, emergency medical, and call taking/administrative.
