An AMBER alert is used by law enforcement to notify the public about missing children who might have been abducted. An AMBER Alert is only used for the most serious child abduction cases, when authorities believe a child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to add millions of extra eyes and ears to help in the safe return of the child and apprehension of the abductor. Here’s how an AMBER alert is used in the recovery of missing children.
