OJJDP FY 17 National Amber Alert Training and Technical Assistant Program
The AMBER Alert program is a partnership of law enforcement, broadcasters and media, transportation agencies, emergency management agencies, telecommunications/call centers, other public safety agencies, and child protection organizations and professionals dedicated to recovering endangered missing and
abducted children.
The National AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program serves to increase the nationâs capacity to respond to incidents of endangered missing and abducted children.
