Amber Alert
The Alert was named after Amber Hagerman
In 1996, 9-year old Amber Hagerman disappeared from her Arlington, Texas neighborhood while riding her bicycle. A neighbor was able to give some details of the car involved, but no system was in place to get that information to local residents quickly. Tragically, Amber's body was found four days later.The Amber Alert enables Law Enforcement to use Television Stations and radio stations to get the word out quickly. The more people looking for a child, the better.

- I love the "Amber Alert" concept. It really works very well. We use it frequently here in Ontario and is activated immediately when a child disappears. Thanks for bringing attention to this wonderful program. Sincerely, Fran (FESA)
