What is AMBER Alert?

Every province in Canada has an AMBER Alert Program.
The AMBER Alert Program is an innovative  province wide program which partners the province's law enforcement community, media broadcasting agencies and the public in locating abducted children.
AMBER Alert is a comprehensive plan which provides a coordinated and rapid response to child abductions throughout your province.  It provides the public with immediate and up-to-date information about a child abduction by widespread media broadcasts and solicits the public's help in the safe and swift return of the child.
It is a voluntary, cooperative program between police services and local broadcasters to send an emergency alert to the public when a child has been abducted and it is believed that his/her life is in grave danger.
An AMBER Alert can only be activated by a specified person who is an authorized user.
