Texas Center for the Missing received their first grant about 2 years ago which enabled them to create my position – the Emergency Alert Coordinator Position. This grant is a 3 year grant. In this position I am responsible for issuing the Amber and Silver Alerts in the 14 county Houston/Galveston Region. Additionally, I also provide all of the law enforcement training in those counties for the alerts which is a 4 hour TCOLE Certified class. I am now in the process of creating an 8 hour presentation which will include the first 4 hours of the alerts and the remaining 4 hours will be on Alzheimers/Dementia and Autism for law enforcement.
