Description:

AMBER Alert is the official iPhone AMBER Alert and Missing Child Alert tool for the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children. AMBER Alerts are issued whenever a missing child case is granted the high-risk AMBER status and has been used to aid in the recovery of missing children. The iPhone application provides a real-time feed of active AMBER alerts including victim and suspect photos and information, direct phone numbers to police precincts, and a reporting mechanism allowing you to report a sighting or get directly in touch with the hotline. Two additional feeds are included in the application: a feed of recent missing child alerts for the US, and a state-by-state feed of all missing children on file. All three feeds provide the same level of reporting functionality.

The iPhone's GPS is used to include your current GPS position with your sighting report, allowing the National Center to realize a geographical search area based on the number and pattern of reports in a specific location. You'll also be able to include your iPhone's phone number in the information you send to the National Center so they can call you to follow up. Additionally, you can instead initiate a phone call to NCMEC's hotline for missing children with the touch of a button, or tap a phone number in an AMBER alert to dial the police precinct directly. All of this provides for smarter policing and can help filter false positives. Incoming reports are processed by the National Center and forwarded to the appropriate law enforcement agency where it can be responded to.

Please consider downloading this application and help keep an eye out for missing children!
