Waze is adding AMBER alerts to its app

We are very excited to announce that starting today, AMBER alerts, as redistributed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children® will be integrated into Waze. The AMBER alert program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies and the wireless industry that aims to galvanize communities in the search for and the safe recovery of missing children. As of this writing, AMBER alerts have helped safely recover 728 children. We are proud to help expand the AMBER alerts program’s reach and eager to see the benefit Wazers can provide in making communities safer places. Each AMBER alert will contain as much information as possible. Alerts may contain a photo of the child as well as the model, make and license plate of a missing vehicle the child may be traveling in. Clicking “More Information” will open a web browser where Wazers can obtain more information on the missing child.
