AMBER Alert - State of Nevada

AMBER ALERT empowers law enforcement, the media and the public to combat abduction by sending out immediate, up-to-date information that aids in the child's safe recovery.

August 8, 2011 - iPhone App for children now released by FBI

Photos and physical identifiers such as height and weight can be stored electronically in the app, which can be shown immediately to law enforcement officers in the event the child goes missing or is abducted. A child’s data can also be e-mailed instantly to the authorities through the app in just a few clicks.

“You have a much better chance of recovering a child if you can get that information into the hands of law enforcement very quickly,” said Michael Lilly, FBI unit chief of online print media, in a podcast posted on the bureau’s website this month.
