AMBER Alert

​​​​​​Minnesota AMBER Alerts are used to get information out about child abductions. The goal is to enlist your help in finding the child as quickly as possible.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) developed this plan in 2002 in cooperation with our partners in law enforcement, the media and others. When an alert is issued, it will include information about how you can help.

Any time there is an active AMBER Alert infor​mation will be posted on the BCA website home page and on .
