OJJDP Observes AMBER Alert Awareness Day

AMBER Alert [ [link removed] ]

January 13 is National AMBER Alert Awareness Day. The AMBER Alert early warning system notifies the public when a child goes missing. It was named in remembrance of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas, on January 13, 1996.

Join OJJDP and the Department of Justice as we honor Amber’s memory and work to safely recover missing and abducted children.

In fiscal year 2023, OJJDP awarded more than $41 million to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children [ [link removed] ] and $4.4 million to the National AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program [ [link removed] ]. OJJDP also supports the AMBER Alert in Indian Country [ [link removed] ] Initiative. The AMBER Alert program [ [link removed] ] is responsible for the successful recovery of more than 1,160 children.
