TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Attorney General Derek Schmidt and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation are reminding Kansans to stay vigilant on Amber Alert Awareness Day.
Attorney General Derek Schmidt says he and Kansas Bureau of Investigation Director Kirk Thompson are reminding Kansans to stay alert when assistance is needed to help find a missing child. He said the reminder comes on National Amber Alert Awareness Day, Wednesday, Jan. 13.
When a child is abducted, getting detailed information about the incident out to the public as quickly as possible can be critical, Schmidt said. The first hours after an abduction are crucial, and the watchful eyes of Kansas citizens can help save a childs life.
According to Schmidt, since the inception of the Amber Alert program in 1996, it has brought 1,029 children safely home. He said in Kansas, 56 children have been safely returned since 2002.
