BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Starting Friday, September 1, an Alabama Missing and Endangered Persons Alert can now be issued for any adult if they are believed to be in danger.
Previously, one of these alerts could only be issued if the adult was living with a mental or physical disability, but the new expansion now includes anyone as long as they’re over the age of 18.

“I can’t help but reiterate why it’s so important for local law enforcement to really be able to analyze the facts,” said Sgt. Burkett. “We want the general public and the citizens of Alabama to know and understand when they see that alert, that’s verified information.” You can receive Missing and Endangered Person alerts to your phone by signing up for ALEAs CodeRED system.
