State Police to test Amber Alert

The Rhode Island State Police will test the Amber Alert Emergency Notification System at 1 p.m. today.

Law enforcement issues an Amber Alert message when a child is reported missing or abducted, and the message encourages the public to look for the missing child or suspect.

Broadcasters interrupt programming, and the alert is transmitted on radio, television, and highway signs.

The amber alert came through just fine but it is hard to look for someone on the streets or be aware in your travels if no discription of what you are looking for is given.

Just a thought.
