In New York State we generally hold an after action review post activation if we are able to schedule with the requesting agency. We invite all of our amber partners and any of the members of the investigating agency. We produce an after action report to show how the Alert was “pushed out” and to how many social media, lottery terminals, highway signs, radio stations, tv stations and other traditional email and fax alert notifications were made. We seek in these reviews to continuously improve our activation request process and to seek input if the activation directly assisted in the recovery of the child.
