Leading organisations like RTL, Wort, Tageblatt, Lëtzebuerger Journal, Le Quotidien, L’essentiel and Radio 100,7 already signed up. Other organisations and citizens are asked to follow their example and join the search for endangered missing children.

“When the life of a missing child is in imminent danger, every second counts. The more people sign up for AMBER Alert, the greater the chance to quickly recover a missing child. That’s why we call on all citizens and organisations to sign up for AMBER Alert Luxembourg, for example by email, Facebook or Twitter”, says Frank Hoen, President of AMBER Alert Europe.

AMBER Alerts & endangered missing children
A national AMBER Alert is issued when the police fear the life of an abducted or missing child is in imminent danger. In addition to AMBER Alerts, parts of the system will be used to find endangered missing children. A missing child is considered endangered when there is an immediate and significant risk of harm but the case does not reach the criteria for an AMBER Alert.
