WHAT IS AMBER ALERT? Nova Scotia's AMBER Alert Program, is a province-wide innovative program which partners the Province's law enforcement community, media broadcasting agencies and the public in locating abducted children or individuals with mental or physical disabilities. It provides the public with immediate and up-to-date information about abductions via widespread media broadcasts and solicits the public's help in the safe and swift return of the victim. AMBER Alert is a comprehensive program which provides a coordinated and rapid response to abductions throughout Nova Scotia. AMBER Alert is a voluntary, cooperative program between police services and local broadcasters to send an emergency alert to the public. An AMBER alert can only be used in serious abduction cases. It is important that this program be used appropriately. If the early warnings are not accurate and/or the case does not warrant an alert, then the integrity and credibility of the program will be diminished. |
