Illinois AMBER Alert - AMBER Statistics

	To activate the AMBER Alert Notification Plan in Illinois, law enforcement agencies must ensure the following criteria are met:

1.	Law enforcement must confirm a child has been abducted.

2.	The child must be under the age of 16 or have a proven mental or physical disability.

3.	Law enforcement must believe the child is in danger of serious bodily harm or death.

4.	There is enough descriptive information about the child, abductor, and/or suspect’s vehicle to believe an immediate broadcast alert will help.

	The AMBER Alert Notification Plan is a tool for law enforcement to promptly notify the media of a confirmed abduction so the information can be broadcast to the public for assistance in locating the child and/or abductor. AMBER is a voluntary program for law enforcement and the broadcasters. AMBER is NOT the entire missing child investigation.
