The AMBER Alert Program, created after the 1996 abduction and murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, Fire/EMS and transportation agencies. The program activates an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases.
The AMBER Alert program is coordinated on a national level by the U.S. Department of Justice. For more information about the National AMBER Alert Initiative, visit www.amberalert.gov. A description of the abducted child and the suspected abductor is broadcast to millions of media listeners and viewers. The public becomes the eyes and ears of law enforcement.
In Northeast Ohio, the Cuyahoga County Public Safety & Justice Services Cuyahoga Emergency Communications System (CECOMS) is the primary 24-hour agency for broadcasting Amber Alerts in all nine (9) counties including Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Erie, Geauga, Huron, Lake, Lorain, Medina, and Summit Counties.
