There are certain standards that a person’s disappearance must meet in order for police to issue an Amber Alert or a Silver Alert.

Amber Alerts are intended for children under 18 who are believed to have been abducted and are in danger. To issue an Amber Alert, police must also have information about a suspect and their car.

Silver Alerts are for missing and at-risk adults or children. They are much more common in missing persons. Only last year, the standards for Silver Alerts were expanded to include children.

In both cases, these warnings must be issued by the police.
