About AMBER Ready

The AMBER Ready Program is the (www.amberready.com) the Nation's First Wireless Child Protection Service & Community Predator Deterrent Initiative, and a major technological advance in the effort to find missing or abducted children. Research has shown that missing or abducted children recovered in the first four hours likely never will be. The program enables parents and guardians to store their children's photo, description and other valuable information in a profile in their wireless multimedia phones. If the unfortunate situation ever occurs, an Amber Ready subscriber can immediately transfer information to their local law enforcement agency, media stations, airports, and the AMBER Alert network -- saving valuable time. Kai D. Patterson is the president and founder of AMBER Ready. Child Safety in the palm of your hand. Are you AMBER Ready?
