On this day, we recognize the anniversary of the first AMBER Alert, a program created to help safely recover abducted children and quickly share critical information with the public.

Every AMBER Alert is a reminder that time matters. By staying alert and reporting credible sightings, the public plays an important role in bringing children home safely.

If you receive an AMBER Alert on your phone, take a moment to read it, stay aware of your surroundings, and report any relevant information to law enforcement. Together, we can help protect California’s children.
