The AMBER Alert Program, named for 9-year-old Amber
Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies,
broadcasters, and transportation agencies to activate an urgent bulletin
in the most serious child-abduction cases. Broadcasters use the Emergency
Alert System (EAS) to air a description of the abducted child and suspected
abductor. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the
entire community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of the
child.
