The Bahamian government signed a contract in May 2021 with a technology company to help send a “Marco Alert,” which will be used in child abductions like an AMBER Alert. The alert is named after Marco Archer who was murdered after he went to buy candy in September 2011. “The billboards are only here in New Providence,” said Minister of National Security Marvin Dames. “This contract will give us the ability to communicate cross country via cell phone.”

An 11-year-old boy who was abducted and murdered five years ago has prompted the Bahamas to issue child abduction alerts, and to end the practice of waiting 24 hours to begin searching for a missing child. The new regulations are part of Marco's Law, named after Marco Archer who was abducted, sexually abused and murdered.

The Mandatory Action Rescuing Children Operation (MARCO) Alert is similar to the U.S. AMBER Alert and will be disseminated to the media. The victim's family is also asking the country to create a sex offender registry.
