We’re all familiar with the shrill sound of an Amber Alert. It’s scary. A child gone missing is a scenario no parent wants to imagine, yet the reality is that thousands of children are reported missing each year. In those agonizing moments, every second counts.

While Amber Alerts are a powerful tool for mobilizing communities, they rely on having accurate and up-to-date information about the missing child. Scrambling to find recent photos or recalling specific details under immense stress can slow the search. That’s why proactive preparation is important.

My Family ID is designed to equip parents with the tools they need to respond quickly in an emergency. This innovative app helps you compile and secure vital identification information, making it instantly accessible to law enforcement when time is of the essence.

What is an Amber Alert?

An Amber Alert is an emergency notification system that broadcasts information to a mass audience quickly after a child is abducted and may be in danger. Named after Amber Hagerman, a young girl who was abducted and murdered in 1996, the system aims to utilize the public for help locating missing children by broadcasting detailed descriptions of the child, the suspected abductor, and any associated vehicles. 

How My Family ID Helps The Success Rate of Amber Alerts

According to the Amber Alert website, “As of December 31, 2023, 1,200 children were successfully recovered through the AMBER Alert system.” The more information law enforcement has before issuing an amber alert, the higher the chance of success. Here’s how My Family ID can help:

Quick Access to Crucial Information

When an Amber Alert is issued, law enforcement needs specific details about the missing child to initiate a successful search. My Family ID provides a centralized, secure location to store critical information, including:

• A Biometric Facial Scan

• Fingerprint Scans

• Recent Photographs

• Identifying Marks

• Medical Information

• Emergency Contacts

With this available data, you can provide law enforcement with a helpful profile within seconds, so you won’t waste time gathering scattered information.

Leveraging Technology for a Higher Success Rate

My Family ID goes beyond basic identification. Our advanced biometric facial scan technology allows law enforcement to utilize facial recognition software that can be used at locations like border crossings, train stations, airports, theme parks, and more, potentially identifying your child’s location or movements.
