Text messaging is now being used as a means of emergency communication. Individuals can now sign up to receive AMBER Alerts as text messages. This allows the public to be notified and on the lookout immediately.
Most abducted children that are found dead were murdered within the first three hours of their abduction. Time is of the essence when attempting to locate missing children—every minute counts.
The Wireless AMBER Alerts initiative is a voluntary partnership between the wireless industry, law-enforcement agencies, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), to distribute AMBER Alerts to wireless subscribers for little or no cost.
Rather than utilizing this new media tool for advertising, AMBER Alert is using the tool to help save the lives of abducted children.
