AMBER Alert

An AMBER Alert is a provincial emergency broadcast that quickly alerts the public of a suspected child abduction. If an incident meets established criteria, DRPS will request that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issue the AMBER Alert. 

It is important to note: an AMBER Alert is not appropriate in every incident of a missing child.

To ensure that the alerts continue to be effective, they must meet the following criteria to be issued: 

• police have confirmed that an abduction has taken place; and
• the victim is a child, or a person of proven physical or mental disability; and
• there is reason to believe the victim is in danger of serious physical injury; and
• there is information available that, if broadcasted to the public, could assist in the safe recovery of the victim.
