January 13 marked AMBER Alert Awareness Day, and the OPP is reminding Ontarians that AMBER Alerts are a call for the public’s help to find a child in danger.
An AMBER Alert is an emergency broadcast that is issued in the event of a child abduction. It is only issued when the abducted child is believed to be at imminent risk of bodily harm or death.
When the alert is issued, the description of the child (and, if available, the alleged suspect or involved vehicle) is immediately broadcast through television, radio and LTE-connected and compatible wireless devices via Alert Ready, Canada’s emergency alerting system.
