The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is enhancing the processes and availability of information for the public during an AMBER Alert activation. As part of this effort, the CBI will conduct a test of the system tomorrow at 11am. The test alert feature is disabled by default on all phones, but those who have enabled test alerts on their device will receive this notification. Members of the public who notice the test alert tomorrow at 11am should not be alarmed and understand that no action is required.
AMBER Alerts are critical for quickly disseminating information about abducted children to the public, leveraging the power of the media and the public’s assistance in locating the missing child. These alerts are broadcast through various channels, including radio, television, and mobile devices. For more information on AMBER Alerts, including how they work and their importance, visit the Amber Alerts page on the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children website.
This test occurs just three days before National Missing Children’s Day this Saturday, highlighting the importance of community awareness and participation in keeping children safe.
