Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin signed the Blue Alert into law in September 2016 to warn the public that someone is wanted for assaulting or killing an officer. The alerts will go with information about the suspect and vehicle to law enforcement, media and on electronic road signs. The Blue Alert was enacted at the same time a manhunt was underway for a suspect accused of murdering 2 people and shooting 2 officers. The Blue Alert Foundation reports that 28 states now have Blue Alerts.
