AMBER ALERTS

Ontario AMBER Alert

March 7, 2016 - In an initiative to help ensure the safety of Canadians, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has taken measures to ensure that Canadians receive timely warnings over their televisions and radios of imminent risks to life and property, including AMBER Alerts. The CRTC mandated the broadcasting industry to distribute emergency alert messages by March 31, 2015. Cable and satellite companies, radio stations, over-the-air television stations, CBC and video-on-demand services all must relay emergency alerts. These alerts are distributed through the National Alert Aggregation & Dissemination (NAAD) system.

The Ontario AMBER Alert is a warning system that quickly alerts the public of abducted children who are in imminent danger.

• The Ontario AMBER Alert Program was established in 2003 as a voluntary, cooperative plan between radio/television stations, the Ministry of Community and Correctional Services, Ministry of Transportation and Ontario Law Enforcement Agencies.

• The Ontario AMBER Alert is a warning system that quickly alerts the public of abducted children who are in danger.

• The main objective of the AMBER Alert is always the safe return of the child.

• The early stage of the investigation is critical. Information obtained quickly through an AMBER Alert may assist in the safe and swift return of abducted children.

• Guidelines for requesting the OPP to initiate an AMBER Alert have been distributed to all Ontario Police Services. The guidelines are used for ensuring all alerts are appropriate.

Questions and Answers:

Q: What exactly is an AMBER Alert?

A: If a child is reported as being abducted, and the case meets certain guidelines, the investigating police service can ask the OPP to issue an AMBER Alert. The description of the child (and if available, the alleged abductor or involved vehicle) are then immediately broadcasted on many different mediums including: highway signs, radio stations, over-the-air television stations and social media.

Q: What are the guidelines for issuing an AMBER Alert?

A: The guidelines for issuing an AMBER Alert are:

Page 32: LAMBTON GROUP POLICE SERVICE BOARD · lambton group police service board inspector c.c. (chris) avery may / june 2017

1) Law enforcement agency believes a child under the age of 18 has been abducted.

2) Law enforcement agency believes the child is in danger.

3) Law enforcement agency believes an immediate broadcast alert will help in locating the child.

4) There is descriptive information about one or more of the following: child, abductor and/or vehicle involved.

Q: Who facilitates the AMBER Alert program?

A: The OPP facilitate the program within the province, but the program is available to all police agencies in Ontario.

Q: How do I receive an AMBER Alert?

A: AMBER Alerts are distributed through cable and satellite companies, radio stations, over-the-air television stations, CBC, video-on-demand services, social media as well as though SMS text messages.

Q: How do I sign up for AMBER Alerts through SMS text messages?

A: Visit http://www.wirelessamber.ca or text 26237(AMBER).

Q: How can the community assist?

A: If you see or hear an AMBER Alert, watch for the child, suspect, and/or vehicle described in the alert. If you have any information regarding an AMBER Alert immediately report any sightings to the police by calling 9-1-1, Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477 or your local police.

Q: Why isn’t the AMBER Alert Program used for missing children?

A: It is important that the AMBER Alert Program be used only when the guidelines are met. Overuse could desensitize the public to the alert and weaken the response when the program is really needed. Thankfully, child abductions that meet the program’s guidelines are relatively rare in Ontario. The challenge for the OPP and its AMBER Alert partners is to make sure all Ontario police services know the program is available and how to access it, even if they do not use it regularly.

Q: Can I opt out of receiving AMBER Alerts on my television or radio?

A: No, the CRTC mandated the broadcasting industry to distribute emergency alert messages by March 31, 2015. Cable and satellite companies, radio stations, over-the-air television stations, CBC and video-on-demand services must relay emergency alerts. These alerts are distributed through the NAAD system. The OPP apologize for any inconvenience or disruption in viewing / listening pleasure. We will not express regret for taking any steps necessary to locate an abducted child.

Page 33: LAMBTON GROUP POLICE SERVICE BOARD · lambton group police service board inspector c.c. (chris) avery may / june 2017

Q: What is the NAAD system?

A: The National Alert Aggregation & Dissemination (NAAD) System provides authorized Government Agencies across Canada with a simple, easily accessible means by which they can issue public safety messages. The NAAD System validates and authenticates the messages it receives to ensure they are from the participating government authority and are compliant with certain agreed to standards and policies. After this, the NAAD System then aggregates all the alert messages it receives from government authorities into a data stream which it distributes over the internet and by satellite ensuring coverage across Canada.
