Why isn’t an Amber alert a real emergency?
What I would like to know is if they track Canada wide the number of tips that come in as a result of the alert system and if those tips helped to lead to the rescue of the children in the alert.
If let’s say there is a 10% success rate of a tip received as a result of the alert then we should all suck it up.
So hopefully they are collecting data and after about a year of the current system evaluate the locations successful tips are coming from and if the program is effective at generating useful information. Then you tweak based on the data.
Right now this debate it two groups of people without the key information to make the decision. So for now the prudent thing is to let the law enforcement agencies operate this how they believe is best than evaluate once data is available.
