The AMBER Alert™ Program is a voluntary partnership between the Avon PTA, the Avon Police and the Avon-Canton Rotary, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child. http://www.amberchildid.org and http://www.amberalert.gov/index.htm
