The
Washington State Patrol (WSP) is the lead agency for the Washington
Statewide AMBER Alert Plan. The Chief of the WSP is the State AMBER
Alert Manager and has final decision-making authority over all aspects
of the Statewide Plan. While the Chief of the WSP is ultimately accountable
for the plan’s success, this responsibility is shared with other
entities that form the AMBER Alert Advisory Committee (AAAC). The AAAC
charter contains detailed information about the formulation of this
committee, its background, purpose, membership, and activities. Read
the AMBER Alert Advisory Committee
Charter to learn more about the development of the Statewide Plan.
In addition to the Statewide Plan, many
law enforcement agencies in Washington State have developed local AMBER
Alert Plans. These plans have met the stringent criteria of the Statewide
AMBER Alert Plan and specify local law enforcement agency procedures
to investigate a child abduction case, approve AMBER Alert activations,
coordinate community response, and direct the recovery of a child. In
the event a law enforcement agency does not have an approved plan, they
must utilize the resources of another law enforcement agency with an
approved plan to activate an AMBER Alert, or the Washington State Patrol
will assist them in activating an alert.
