Toronto Amber
Alert Program
A Toronto Police Amber Alert is issued when a child under the age
of 18 is missing and is considered to be in the company of someone
who could cause them serious harm. Once an alert is issued, City
of Toronto employees will be provided with the necessary information
needed to be part of the Amber Alert watch for an abducted child.
The Office of
Emergency Management has developed a protocol in which Fire Services,
EMS (Emergency Medical Services), Transportation Services, the TTC,
and Strategic Communications will each receive and distribute information
from Toronto Police Service as soon as a Toronto area Amber Alert
is issued.
Transportation Service's overhead signs will alert motorists to
listen for details on the radio and employees across the City will
keep watch as they go about their jobs and commute to and from
work. Thousands of extra eyes will keep watch and, hopefully, provide
Toronto Police Service with the information needed to safely return
a missing child home.
