Trump Named Child Advocate of the Year for Saving Abducted Boy

It has been five years since President Trump overhauled our nation’s AMBER alert system.  In 2019, a series of new rules greenlit by the Trump administration brought crucial upgrades to wireless emergency alerts, including a groundbreaking feature that allows the alerts to include embedded links.
