Description:

From November of 2004 to May of 2006, several state departments formed a system to work in response to Amber Alerts. The South Dakota Public Broadcasting System purchased equipment to efficiently post high-quality Amber Alerts and photos to television, no matter what time of day or staff available. A cost-effective and valuable structure was installed to the South Dakota 511 Traveler Information System to alert callers to Amber Alert information. The Department of Criminal Investigation includes a call center where volunteers operate a phone system which records information received from callers. Amber Alerts are also posted at all South Dakota kiosks quickly and reliably now that they are connected to a network-based system rather than dial-up communication. The agencies have established a system and tested the program quarterly to continue being prepared in case of a true Amber Alert.
