What Is a New Hampshire Amber Alert
A New Hampshire Amber Alert is an emergency notification system used to broadcast urgent information when a child is believed to have been abducted. Alerts are activated when law enforcement confirms specific criteria, including a credible threat to the child's safety and enough descriptive information to help the public assist in recovery.
How Alerts Are Issued and Shared
In New Hampshire, Amber Alerts are coordinated by state police and partner agencies through the state's alert system and national networks. Messages are distributed via radio, television, digital roadside signs, and mobile devices. The goal is to quickly reach large numbers of people in the affected area.
What the Public Should Do
When a New Hampshire Amber Alert is issued, authorities ask the public to watch for the described child, vehicle, or suspect and to report any sightings immediately by calling 911. Do not attempt to intervene directly. Timely, accurate tips from the public can be critical in locating a missing child safely.
