Amber
Alert emails available; provide details when child is abducted
SD
citizens, including school personnel, may sign up via an online website to
receive Amber Alert emails. The Amber Alert system is activated when a child
is abducted. The emails provide information about the child, suspects, and
vehicles. The purpose is to alert citizens who can help law enforcement by
being alert and calling in sightings. The emails include a phone number that
can be used to report information.
The
South Dakota Amber Alert system is tested quarterly by sending out a “test”
email to all participants. Citizens can sign up to receive the emails; they
can also use the same online site to stop receiving Amber Alert communications
at any time.
The
website is located at
http://www.state.sd.us/amberalert/ . The link to sign up for
notifications or remove your name from the listserver is reached by clicking
on the word “here” in the last sentence on the page. |
