Child abduction
The purpose of the AMBER Plan was for Law Enforcement Agencies to collaborate with local broadcasters in serious child abduction investigations for the safe and swift return of missing children.
When a child-abduction was reported and investigation revealed that:
1. The child is 14 years of age or younger, or 15 through 17 years given consideration to the conduct of the victim perhaps contributing to their disappearance, and:
2. The child's safety is at risk, and;
3. The abductor and/or child are likely to still be in the local broadcast area, and;
4. There is a likelihood someone provided with a description of the abductor, the child, or the vehicle involved may observe and report the whereabouts of this person(s) to the police, then;
The authorized police agency investigating the case may activate the DC Amber Plan by notifying the media organizations for broadcast to the public via the Emergency Alert System (EAS)
