Benton police push AMBER Alert texts
Phone notices 1 more tool, they say
Posted: December 23, 2009 at 5:18 a.m.
Benton Police Chief Kirk Lane announces that his department is in a partnership with the Cellular Telephone Industry Association (CTIA), the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Department of Justice in promoting the use of Wireless Amber Alerts. This project allows those who choose to be involved to receive a free text message when a amber alert is posted in the subscriber's designated area. They have photos of missing children on the back windshields of their partol cars.
Benton police want residents to sign up to get free AMBER Alert text messages with the hope that the community could help prevent a tragedy.
