Home/Crime & Violence Prevention/AMBER Alert

The plan has been expanded in Utah to include electronic roadway signs
(See maps of UDOT electronic signs and AMBER Alert business
sign locations), pagers and other methods to alert the public.  It has
proven to be an effective way to quickly inform the public about
serious child abduction cases.  Utah's AMBER Alert Plan is tested
each year on May 25 and September 19 to make sure the alerts
are immediate and effective.  Our goal is to instantly galvanize
the entire community to assist in the search for and safe return
of abducted children.

The AMBER Alert is part of the nationwide AMBER Plan, a voluntary
partnership between law-enforcement agencies and broadcasters.
The plan utilizes the Emergency Alert System and other means to
notify the public about a missing child and a suspected abductor
(See AMBER Alert Brochure in PDF). The child abduction alert was
originally called the Rachael Alert in Utah.
