Nalc/usps Child Alert Program

The AMBER Alert System began in 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnaped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and then brutally murdered. Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation.

Nalc/usps Child Alert Program

Post by teramiabullfrog »

every time an amber alert is issued an "emergency FAX" should be activated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) - in accordance with the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM, within 24 hours every Post Office in the country or within a certain district would have the photo/id info about the missing person on display. if this was done i would be willing to bet a lot more missing children would be found a lot faster
