What is the Maine Amber Alert system?

The Maine amber alert system is an American emergency protocol program that is activated by the police of the state.

The system is activated only when a child of age 17 years or below is kidnapped. AMBER stands for America’s missing broadcast emergency response.

The system transmits information about any child suspected of being kidnapped by the police force to different media channels and highway roads. By spreading the news of the child’s kidnap, the news will gain many people’s attention, who would then tell if they have seen something.
