Amber Alert Information
The AMBER Plan is a voluntary, cooperative partnership between law-enforcement agencies and broadcasters to send an emergency alert to the public when a child has been abducted and it is believed that the child's life is in grave danger.
Under the Amber Alert plan, area radio and television stations interrupt programming to broadcast information about the missing child and the suspected abductor using the Emergency Alert System, formerly known as the Emergency Broadcast System.
The purpose of the AMBER Plan is to provide a rapid response to the most serious child abduction cases. When an alert is activated. law-enforcement agencies immediately gain the assistance of thousands of broadcast and cable listeners and viewers throughout the area. The plan relies on galvanizing the community to help safely recover the abducted child. It is hoped that this early warning system will not only coerce a kidnapper into releasing the child for fear of being arrested, but also deter the person from committing the crime in the first place
The Cottage Grove Police Department is a participant in the Amber Alert Plan. Hopefully, it will never be necessary for us to initiate an alert.

History
The AMBER Plan was created in 1996 as a powerful legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, a bright little girl who was kidnapped and brutally murdered while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas.
The tragedy shocked and outraged the entire community. Residents contacted radio stations in the Dallas area and suggested they broadcast special “alerts” over the airwaves so that they could help prevent such incidents in the future.
