AMBER Alert is intended only for the most serious, time-critical child abduction cases. It is not intended for cases involving parental abductions, except in life-threatening situations. AMBER Alert can be used in any abduction that meets the criteria regardless of what relation the abductor has with the victim.

AMBER Alert is only activated by authorized users within law enforcement agencies. All of the following conditions must be met before activating an AMBER Alert:

• The victim is under the age of 18.
• Police have reasonable grounds to believe that the victim has been abducted.
• Police have reasonable grounds to believe the victim is in imminent danger.
• Police have obtained enough descriptive information about the victim, abductor and/or the vehicle involved.
• Police believe that the alert can be issued in a time frame that will provide a reasonable expectation that the child can be returned or the abductor apprehended
