Silver Alerts sent to hospitals, shelters, libraries
Maine runs a Silver Alert Program for missing endangered people. When an alert is activated, the state sends it to all hospitals, all homeless shelters, and a statewide library association. Police follow set steps to confirm the case, share key details, and alert other agencies and media. The plan can use highway message signs and provides training for officers. The program uses existing resources.
