From Mike Tellef, NIOA Past President
The mission of the AMBER Alert program is to develop and coordinate the efforts of law enforcement, transportation, and the media to increase public participation in safely recovering abducted children through targeted education, increased communication, and effective sharing of resources. To help keep those lines of communications open and to ensure that you as a PIO/PAO are up to date below is a link to the 13th Edition of the AMBER Advocate.
