Amber Alert

The purpose of the Florida Amber Plan is to broadcast critical information of a missing/abducted child believed to be endangered, in a timely manner, to the general public.  Broadcast of critical information includes DOT’s dynamic message signs.

Silver Alert

Executive Order 08-211 enacting Florida’s ‘Silver Alert’ was signed by Governor Charlie Crist on October 8, 2008.  The Silver Alert Allows the immediate broadcast of information to the public regarding missing elders with dementia or other cognitive impairment with the goal of returning them home safely. 

LEO Alert

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), has established the Florida LEO Alert Plan.  The purpose of the Florida LEO Alert plan is to broadcast critical information of an offender(s) who have killed or seriously injured a law enforcement officer, and that if not apprehended immediately would pose a significant risk to the public.

Each Alert has different criteria and must be coordinated between each agency (either local or state) and FDLE.  In each case, enough vehicle descriptive information along with the complete or partial tag number to benefit a broadcast on the signs must be available.
