More than 230 Utah law enforcement officers and other AMBER Alert partners attended a free statewide conference called “When Seconds Count: Abducted Children, Fallen Officers, and Missing Persons.” At the training, Erin Runnion and Elaine Runyan-Simmons shared their experiences after their daughters were abducted and murdered. Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff announced the launch of the Blue Alert for fallen officers and a name change for the Endangered Person Advisory. The alert for non-AMBER Alert cases is now called the Endangered Missing Advisory. The Davis County Chamber of Commerce raised the funds to support the 1-day conference.
