Email Example for Delaware's Amber Alert System
Dear Governor Ruth Ann Minner, I am writing to ask you about your states Amber Alert System. I am part of a group Nationwide that posts information on current and past missing persons. While searching your state I noticed that you do not have a section for local Missing Children Alerts. By that I mean there isn’t a National Alert Ticker or Local one. And when searching many Police Departments web pages there is NO section for abducted/endangered or other missing persons press releases or Alerts. In fact all I could locate was a press release on January 14, 2003 about starting an Amber Alert system. Has it been implemented and where can it be located. . By searching the Internet to locate your States Amber System, precious seconds are being wasted. I implore you please look into this problem and repair it as quickly as possible. Having an Amber Plan in place is great. But if it doesn’t work why have it at all. Look at the case in Ohio of 19 month old Aliyah Starling Myrick. The Amber Alert being issued about six hours after the initial call came in. And no one in our network received that alert because their System is also flawed. She was murdered and left in a park to be found the next day by passersby. All these flaws are doing an injustice to the children it is meant to help. If I am wrong please direct me to the proper page. Our members have done exhaustive searches on Yahoo, Google and other search engines and came up empty handed. These are precious seconds that could be used searching for the endangered child or posting flyers. Too many of our children are being murdered because valuable information is not being given out or in a timely manner. I hope you will look into this complaint seriously and remedy the situation. Don’t let another small voice be silenced because of lack of vital information. In your Offices press release it stated “The AMBER alert system is a way for the public to really participate in helping to return a child to their home,” Attorney General M. Jane Brady said. “As we know, law enforcement can always do a better job with the community's support.” But if it isn’t being utilized it isn’t helping any children. Thank you for your time.
