ife-saving AMBER Alerts are now available to the millions of people on the social networking service Facebook, including those who live in Wyoming. Facebook users are able to sign up to receive state-specific AMBER Alert bulletins which will be sent to them through the Facebook “News Feed” feature. A total of 53 new AMBER Alert Pages have been created, one for each state, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia. Facebook users will also be able to share the AMBER Alerts with their friends. The new AMBER Alert Facebook page for Wyoming can be found at facebook.com/AMBERalertWY
An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing every year. AMBER Alert
is a voluntary partnership involving law enforcement agencies and
broadcasters. An urgent AMBER Alert bulletin is issued by law enforcement
in the most serious child abduction cases that meet specific criteria. The
goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to
assist in the search for and safe recovery of the child.
