AMBER ALERT BEST PRACTICES GUIDE, SECOND EDITION
NCJ Number
252759
Date Published
April 2019
Length
68 pages
Annotation
The purpose of this guide is to increase awareness, understanding, and promotion
of the AMBER Alert system, whose goal is to galvanize communities to assist in
the search for and safe recovery of an abducted child, with attention to the
most serious child-abduction cases.
Abstract
The specific purposes of this guide are 1) to raise awareness of roles, actions,
and outcomes central to the coordination of an AMBER Alert program; 2) to
support the ability of a community to create a meaningful and effective
environment to facilitate recovery of missing children through the use of AMBER
Alerts; and 3) to promote good stewardship of the AMBER Alert program and plan
for which AMBER Alert Coordinators are responsible for a program's
administration. Part One focuses on the AMBER Alert response system and those
who are the keys to a successful response. Part Two of the Guide addresses the
"life cycle" of an AMBER Alert, which describes elements of the various aspects
of a comprehensive AMBER Alert. Among the 24 elements described are the 911 call
and telecommunications first response, the law enforcement response, contacting
the AMBER Alert Coordinator, approving or denying an AMBER Alert, the alert
content, and core information elements. Part Three of the Guide pertains to
building relationships among participants in an AMBER Alert response, which is
essential to increasing chances of a successful outcome. Part Four discusses the
critical importance of stakeholder training and public education/awareness in
increasing the likelihood of a successful AMBER Alert. The concluding statement
of the guide indicates it is "a starting point for a continuum of learning,
growth, preparation, and continuous improvement in an agency's or organization's
work as a key partner in the fight to protect children from becoming endangered,
missing, or abducted."
