Sunday is Amber Alert Day
Gov. Chris Gregoire says Sunday is Amber Alert Day to promote participation in the program for locating abducted children.
“Every second counts when a child is abducted,” Gregoire said. “The more quickly we can alert the public about abduction, the better our chances of capturing the perpetrator and recovering that child unharmed. We need as many eyes out there as possible when a child’s life is at stake.”
Amber Alert was created in 1997 after Amber Hagerman, 9, was kidnapped and murdered while riding her bicycle in Texas. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have joined the program.
Washington issues about seven Amber Alerts a year. They can be activated by law enforcement agencies when they believe a minor is in danger of injury or death.
In case of an alert, The Herald’s Web site at cmg-northwest2.go-vip.net/heraldnet shows updates.
