AMBER ALERT |
MISSOURI
AMBER ALERT is a public-private partnership to disseminate urgent notifications
to the public by all available means. At the present time MISSOURI AMBER
ALERT allows local law enforcement to issue statewide alerts in certain
types of abduction cases. In the future MISSOURI AMBER ALERT will expand
to provide public alerts related to other types of criminal activity, homeland
security, and health emergencies. MISSOURI AMBER ALERT is free to local
law enforcement, and participation is strictly voluntary.
MISSOURI AMBER ALERT uses a broad array of resources to alert the public, including radio and television broadcasts, electronic signs, the state MULES system, and the communication capabilities of private entities that interact with the general public. The system was designed in cooperation with the Missouri Police Chiefs Association, the Missouri Sheriffs Association, the Missouri Broadcasters Association, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. MISSOURI AMBER
ALERT does not replace or compete with local abduction alert plans (AMBER
or SARAA). MISSOURI AMBER ALERT has been designed to compliment and enhance
local plans by providing additional methods of notification and statewide
coverage. MISSOURI AMBER ALERT has also been designed to provide a local
alert capability in areas where one does not exist, although the development
of local plans is preferred. If you are a private entity with the ability to relay urgent messages to the general public on short notice, click on the Missouri Amber Alert Provider Sign-Up download to apply to be an alert provider. If you are a law enforcement agency, click on the Missouri Amber Alert Form to download the form used to issue an abduction alert. The form includes all necessary instructions. |
