The next time you get an AMBER Alert on your phone, it will look a little different.<\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is rolling out upgrades to the system that will hopefully lead to more children returning home safely.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When you get an AMBER Alert on your phone, it normally includes a brief description of the missing child, where they were last seen and a few bits of information about the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>Chad Brown is the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Missing Endangered Persons Information Center at FDLE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt’s limited to 90 characters. So the information that is provided in that alert is an abbreviated version of all the information that law enforcement currently has and is able to include,\u201d said Brown.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
