Child Find Saskatchewan will no longer be sending alerts out by email or fax. Social media will be their preferred choice of communication going forward.
This week, a release from Child Find Saskatchewan to all Amber Alert database recipients stated, “Child Find would like to thank each of you for helping us distribute critical information of Amber Alerts in Saskatchewan. We believe that we have gathered a very dedicated and important group of people together to form a database through which we distribute crucial information in the hopes of assisting RCMP in their search for missing children. For this we are very grateful.”
The release, signed by Child Find Saskatchewan’s president, Phyllis Hallatt, goes on to say, “It has come time, however, that we have decided to eliminate our database of emails and faxes and instead, use social media to reach out to the general public in the event of an Amber Alert. This has become the quicker and more efficient method.”
Child Find is asking the general public to consider following them on facebook www.facebook.com/child.saskatchewan/ and on Twitter @childfindsask for the Amber Alert notifications and updates.
“We ask that you share this information with your friends and followers,” states the letter. “Once again, thank you for being a very important part of the Amber Alert System and for believing that a missing person is everyone’s responsibility.”
