Georgia marked the 20th anniversary of discovering the body of Levi Frady, the namesake of Levi's Calls, the state's child abduction alert system. On October 22, 1997, 11-year-old Levi Frady was abducted as he was heading to his home. His bike was found the day before his body was discovered. Shortly after the incident, local law enforcement and Georgia broadcasters teamed up to create Georgia's version of the AMBER Alert, naming it after Frady.

Georgia legislators passed a bill that allows the state to issue a "Blue Alert" for anyone suspected of seriously injuring or killing a police officer. The alert comes a year after a Chattahoochee Hills police officer was shot several times with a high-powered rifle while he was on patrol. Georgia issues a "Levi's Call" for child abductions and "Mattie's Call" for elderly or disabled people who are missing.
