Mattie’s Call? I had to go read about. I’ve never heard of it. Shame on me. I’m going to go read more. Is it controversial? My first impression. I will need to understand the differences re: Silver Alerts, Amber Alerts, etc. Does anyone know how many separate Alert systems are currently in place as a public service to help in locating our missing and endangered?

Mattie's Call is specific to the State of Georgia. In 2006, the state established the program as a missing person alert system administered by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Mattie’s Call may be used to assist in locating a disabled adult, of any age, who is developmentally impaired or suffers from a cognitive impairment, such as dementia. The alert is activated by the GBI, at the request of a local law enforcement agency, to other law enforcement agencies and the public through media outlets and electronic highway signs.

Georgia has a total of four Public Alert systems for use by law enforcement. (info from https://georgiasheriffs.org/) This system is an investigative tool that can be activated by local law enforcement agencies through a request to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. They include:

Wow, I had no idea. I wish we had a thread like this for every state to identify specific legislature and alerts intended to inform. Thank you.
