AMBER Alert Video-Based Training Program

The AMBER Alert system is a nationwide program organized under state or regional plans to assist with the recovery of abducted or endangered children. The system was developed to get information quickly out to the public about these children and to aid law enforcement in their speedy recovery.

The role of the Telecommunicator is often critical for quick deployment of personnel, and in some cases for entering of information into the system to initiate the AMBER Alert itself. For this reason, these public safety personnel need to have the information and tools necessary to help them provide the best service possible to their communities.

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:

• Describe the goals and background of the AMBER Alert program and detail information about proper missing child call-taking procedures.
• List at least four partners participating in the AMBER Alert system.
• Identify the recommended five minimum criteria for issuance of an AMBER Alert.
• List the different ways that AMBER Alert information is provided to the public.
