OKLAHOMA AMBER ALERT CRITERIA
The Amber Plan requires law enforcement to meet two criteria when evaluating a child abduction. Police departments must have both parts of the scenario present before an activation of the alert can occur. The guidelines are as follows:
`
The Amber Alert should be activated when a child 17 years of age or younger, or an individual under proven mental or physical disability is abducted and there is reason to believe the victim is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.*
AND
There is information available to disseminate to the general public which could assist in the safe recovery of the victim and/or the apprehension of a suspect.
*The word abducted is still a cause concern and should he addressed. Law enforcement should make every attempt to verify that an actual abduction has taken place, but some margin for error must be tolerated. If the above guidelines are met except there is no concrete confirmation of an abduction, then the activation most likely should go forward. Each case under this scenario should be independently evaluated.

Silver Alert Resolution
The Oklahoma House of Representatives passed a resolution calling for a Silver Alert system in 2006 to find missing seniors. As a resolution, the Silver Alert program is not required by law, according to the Department of Public Safety that is responsible for implementing the program. The alert system is issued for patients with Alzheimers Disease, dementia or other health issues. The key difference in the Amber Alert system and the Silver Alert program in Oklahoma is that the Silver Alert program does not interrupt broadcast programming like the Amber Alert program. The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety reports that so far the system does not seem to be overused. This was a concern about the program before its implementation. About 10 seniors have been found since that time.
