An AMBER Alert is an emergency notification system used to quickly send out information about a child abduction to the public. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to inform community members about the search and aid in the safe recovery of the child by providing critical details through media broadcasts, highway signs, and digital alerts.

AMBER Alerts are issued only when specific criteria are met, including confirmation of an abduction, the child being under 18, a belief that the child is in imminent danger, and sufficient information being available to assist in locating the child and suspect.

Upon activation of an AMBER Alert, SLCPD detectives trained in child abductions are notified and work alongside patrol officers to investigate the case.

These detectives bring specialized expertise in child recovery efforts, making sure a coordinated and thorough response. Detectives help in collecting evidence, develop leads, and work with state and federal partners, as necessary, to safely find the missing child as quickly as possible.

The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Salt Lake City Police Department. As the investigation progresses, information may change.
