Vermont To Test Amber And Blue Alert Systems

The Vermont Department of Public Safety will be testing the state’s Amber Alert and Blue Alert systems on Thursday and Friday.

Messages will be sent to thousands of subscribers and information about the exercise will be on the Vermont Agency of Transportation boards.

The Amber Alert exercise takes place on Thursday and the Blue Alert system will be tested on Friday.

Vermont State Police say the Amber Alert is intended only for the most serious, time-critical child abduction cases. The Blue Alert is used when a law enforcement officer has been seriously injured, killed, or is missing in the line of duty.
