Changes could be coming to Wisconsin's missing-child alert system
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the Amber Alert program in Wisconsin. But in recent years, discussions have arisen about whether the criteria for the alerts might be too restrictive. We talk to a Wisconsin senator who is working to change the requirements for issuing an Amber Alert, or introduce a new type of missing-child alert. Then, we talk to an administrator for the national Amber Alert program about how the alerts are used, how effective they are and what criteria each case must meet to be considered.
