ASP Deactivates Silver Alert for Missing Elderly Man
Silver Alerts are public notifications designed to help locate missing elderly individuals, often those with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s or dementia, who may be in danger due to their mental health. These alerts are similar to Amber Alerts for missing children, but specifically target vulnerable senior citizens. The program typically includes descriptions of the missing person, their vehicle (if applicable), and last known whereabouts. These details are rapidly disseminated to local law enforcement, media, and the public to enhance the chances of their swift recovery.
