In this episode of “Hub City Now with Tyrone Tony Reed Jr.,” the host spoke with Amanda Barlow Leitch, West Tennessee Regional Director for Alzheimer’s Tennessee, about Silver Alert Mont and Silver Alert kits.
The Silver Alert Law that took effect July 1, 2021 is already helping to find missing individuals who have wandered due to dementia, physical impairment, or disability. The TBI is tasked with oversight and creating a uniform statewide protocol for missing persons, including public alerts through media and on interstates, as well as posts on social media and coordination with local law enforcement.
“Silver Alerts are lifesaving and especially critical to the safety of our Tennessee seniors, if all of us are aware of who is in need of our help to find their way home safely,” Janice Wade-Whitehead, Alzheimer’s Tennessee CEO and President explained on Alzheimer's Tennessee website. “Alzheimer’s Tennessee is working to help the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and local law enforcement understand Alzheimer’s and dementia – and how to best support wandering individuals and their families.”
With TBI providing education, implementation and tracking, Silver Alert will be more effective and more capable of saving lives. Creating a uniform protocol across the state will significantly strengthen the Silver Alert and provide clear instructions for local, inter-agency, and media coordination for how to respond to calls of vulnerable, missing adults who may be disoriented and incapable of finding their own way home.
Barlow Leitch spoke about what's in the Silver Alert kits, what information a person needs to fill out and have in the kit and how it helps law enforcement, media and the community to locate a missing person.
