The Houston Regional Amber Alert System does not have a formal program so much as some standard practices that include:
1) Quarterly meetings of a long-term missing family support group that meets quarterly and participates in activities for Texas Missing Person Day, Houston Missing Person Day, Missing in Harris County Day and National Missing Children’s Day. 2) We also highlight long-term missing cases on our web page and social media platforms and send out cards and special notifications, typically on the anniversary of the missing date and/or on the missing persons birthday. 3) And, finally, we work with our local Crime-Stoppers sometimes to highlight long-term cases to try to drive in more leads and tips.
