Recent highly publicized child abductions throughout the country have put the spotlight on the AMBER
ALERT, a
cooperative effort between law enforcement agencies and the media to quickly disseminate public
information about an abducted child. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office, local law enforcement and the Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management/CECOMS have worked in partnership to bring the AMBER ALERT to our
community. That is why it is imperative that law
enforcement and the media react quickly and get the word out to the community. THE NORTHEAST OHIO
AMBER ALERT
is the answer because it activates an alert that can engage the entire community to look for
both the child and the alleged abductor(s). Experience has shown that a significant number of child abductions
have been resolved because of extensive radio and television coverage. THE NORTHEAST OHIO AMBER ALERT
was modeled after several plans already established throughout
the United States.
