Um, if the vehicle is stolen, the license plate's stolen, um, files that can be attached to, um, the National Crime Information Center, or NCIC, or the Indiana Data and Communication Center, um, IDACCS, um, Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts, um, those, any information that's tied if a person does have a warrant for their arrest, a vehicle registration can be added-

Ambler alerts are kids.

Well, in California, they noticed that if someone had a black name, people were more likely to ignore the alert.

But it's important that you let them know that the person has dementia because then they are considered a critical missing person.

Okay? That prioritizes them, and then they can also put out a silver alert if necessary.

But the sooner that law enforcement is notified, the better chances of a successful recovery.

Okay? Now, it's important to realize that all persons with dementia, regardless of age or their stage of dementia, unless they are bedbound or unable to walk, are at risk of becoming lost in the community.

And you can also enroll your partner into MedicAlert before they ever wander off, okay? And I'll put that link in the description.
