AMBER Advocate Magazine

Issue 13

This issue is dedicated to the origins of the AMBER Alert program, detailing how it was inspired by the 1996 murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman and initiated by a collaboration between local broadcasters and the Arlington Police Department. The summary explains how the program’s early success led to its widespread adoption. This edition also features stories on the Surviving Parent’s Coalition, the challenges of implementing the program in tribal communities with a profile on Coordinator of the Year Mark Hill, and a successful front-lines recovery in Phoenix. Additionally, it includes a brief on Ireland’s plan to develop an AMBER Alert program and a reminder for parents to keep current photos of their children.
