Amber Alert...

The Amber Alert Plan is a critical missing child response program that utilizes the resources of law enforcement and media to notify the public when children are kidnapped by predators.

Law enforcement and broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS), formerly called the Emergency Broadcast System, to air a description of the missing child and suspected abductor. This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of the AMBER Alert is to promptly involve entire communities to assist in the search for and safe return of abducted children.

This website is dedicated to keeping the public informed about currently activated Amber alerts. http://www.ohioamberplan.org/

Ohio Missing Children Clearinghouse

The clearinghouse acts as a central repository to coordinate and improve the availability of information on missing children pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 109.65(B). The mission is to assist in the search for missing children, create public awareness of pertinent issues, and develop and disseminate information in order to educate the public, professionals, and others in the prevention and intervention of missing and abducted children.
