Amber Alert Awareness Day

| 1/11/2013

This Sunday has been proclaimed by Governor Jack Dalrymple as AMBER Alert Awareness Day. AMBER Alert programs are in every state, it was implemented in North Dakota in February of 2003.

“North Dakota is committed to protecting its young people and keeping its communities safe, and the statewide AMBER alert system is an important part of those efforts,” said Dalrymple. “This system is a valuable tool in quickly alerting law enforcement and the public in the event of a child abduction, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.”

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says that there have been five AMBER Alerts involving six children issued in North Dakota. Five of those six children were successfully recovered.
