Activation Criteria
Before Levi's Call can be activated, the following "Alert Criteria" must be met:
-
Law enforcement officials have a reasonable belief that an abduction has occurred.
-
Law enforcement officials believe that the child is in imminent danger or serious bodily injury or death.
-
Enough descriptive information exists about the victim and the abductor for law enforcement to issue a Levi's Call: Georgia's AMBER Alert.
-
The victim of the abduction is a child age 17 years or younger.
- The child's name and other critical data elements - including the child abduction (CA) and AMBER Alert (AA) flags - have been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system
Activation will not be granted for:
-
Non-custodial abductions where no danger exists to the child
-
Runaways
Over use of Levi's Call will cause the program to be ineffective.
