A statewide notification system exists to aid in the recovery of missing endangered adults, particularly those with cognitive impairments such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. This system is activated when specific criteria are met, including a confirmed diagnosis placing the individual at risk.
This alert mechanism serves as a vital tool for law enforcement and the community, increasing the likelihood of a safe return for vulnerable individuals. Its implementation leverages public awareness through various media channels, encouraging citizens to be vigilant and report any relevant sightings. The framework has been refined over time to optimize its effectiveness in locating missing persons swiftly.
