An AMBER Alert is only issued by law enforcement in serious abduction cases. In Canada, AMBER Alert programs are provincially managed.
​
The Saskatchewan AMBER Alert system is a voluntary partnership between Saskatchewan law enforcement agencies, news agencies and the public that establishes a protocol to activate an urgent public appeal for information in the most serious abduction cases. The program gives the public up-to-date information about an AMBER Alert by using province-wide broadcasts to solicit the public's help in having the abducted individual returned home safely.
In 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas. This tragic event prompted the creation of the AMBER Alert program, which is now adopted in Canada.
