DOLORES, Colo. — The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has cancelled an Amber Alert for the Navajo Police Department for two children last seen in southwest Colorado.

AMBER ALERTS 

“Amber” stands for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response. The alert was created after the January 1996 kidnapping and murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman. 

Certain criteria must be met before an Amber Alert is issued 

  • The abducted child must be 17 years old or younger. 

  • The abducted child must be in immediate danger of serious bodily harm or death. 

  • There must be enough descriptive information available to believe a broadcast will assist or aid in the recovery. 

  • A local law enforcement agency or Amber designee from another state must request the activation. 

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is responsible for issuing amber alerts.
