About the
Consortium - www.amberalert911.com
The AMBER Alert 911 Web Portal was developed in
partnership with multiple states as well as a broad cross section of
stakeholders, such as representatives from local law enforcement, broadcast
organizations, emergency managers, enhanced 9-1-1 call centers, transportation
agencies, border organizations, corporations and others. It is supported
through corporate sponsorships in order to cover recurring operational
costs as well as to make the system available to states, law enforcement,
broadcast media and the public at no cost.
The Web Portal was designed to support the individual
needs of any state’s AMBER plan and process while providing a consistent
national platform from which to facilitate multi-state and regional
alerts. The result has been a national portal that keeps all content
control at local levels and enables the very best in technology to be
leveraged to help save children’s lives.
Consortium members worked together to share best
practices and re-engineer their AMBER Alert business processes, in order
to incorporate the AMBER Alert 911 Portal into their existing AMBER
procedures. This creates an efficient, comprehensive system so that
stakeholders can quickly get detailed information about an abduction,
communicate efficiently and work together to save the life of an abducted
child.
The Consortium is working in cooperation with the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) as it makes
the Portal available to states across the nation. It operates under
an effective partnership framework and governance model to represent
member states and sponsors regarding the operation and continual enhancement
of the Portal.
