Safety

If you know someone is missing, call 911 immediately to report.

A Silver Alert is activated when a person with specific cognitive or developmental disabilities of any age, as defined by statute, or a person the age of 65 or older goes missing. 

The purpose of the Silver Alert program is to establish a notification system that provides immediate information to the public through issuing and coordinating alerts using various resources following a subject “gone missing” when specific criteria has been met. 

The goal of the Silver Alert is to locate the missing person, when Silver Alert criteria is met, through efficient information dissemination and communication that results in safe and expedient recovery.
