Here’s a breakdown of the Texas alerts system, including the Blue Alert, Amber Alert and Athena Alert.
Four criteria must met for a Blue Alert: The subject of the alert must be suspected of killing or seriously injuring a member of law enforcement; the person must pose a threat to public safety; a detailed description of the suspect’s vehicle must be available for broadcast; and the primary investigative law enforcement agency must request the alert from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Four criteria are required: The Texas Department of Public Safety needs to verify the military member is registered with the Camo Alert program; the missing person needs to be a confirmed current or former member of the military or National Guard; there needs to be a demonstrated threat to the health and safety of the missing military member or the public; and the agency must confirm the missing person lives with a mental illness or traumatic brain injury.
For an alert, the missing person should be between 18 and 64; their location must be unknown; the missing person should be in immediate danger of death or injury, or the victim of an abduction; the alert must be requested within 72 hours of the person’s disappearance; and enough information should available about the missing person to help the public find them.
The active shooter must be in the agency’s jurisdiction; the shooter’s last known location is known; the requesting agency confirms the presence of the shooter through a preliminary investigation; and the agency needs to determine that an alert would assist innocent people in the shooter’s vicinity..
