Who operates the statewide Florida AMBER Alert?

• A. FDLE only
• B. Federal agencies only
• C. Local police departments only
• D. FDLE, along with state, local, and private partners

Answer: (D)

Florida AMBER Alert is a statewide, coordinated public-notification system led by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). It isn’t run by FDLE alone, nor by federal agencies or local police departments alone. The strength of the program comes from a true partnership: FDLE oversees and coordinates the effort, while state agencies, local law enforcement across the state, and private partners (such as broadcasters, transportation networks, and other media) work together to quickly disseminate information. This collaborative approach ensures alerts reach the widest audience as fast as possible, helping recover abducted children quickly.
