Vehicle and Suspect Quick Cards

Shown only when FDLE flyer text includes a vehicle, plate, tag, abductor, or suspect reference.

For witnesses

Record a Voice Note, Then Call 911

If you can do so safely, start a voice recording instead of typing. Speaking out loud helps preserve details while your eyes stay on the child, suspect, vehicle, and direction of travel.

Where

Street, intersection, business name, landmark, city, or highway mile marker.

Movement

Direction of travel, lane, turn, route number, exit, or where the vehicle was last seen.

Vehicle

Plate or partial plate, state, color, make, model, body type, damage, stickers, or tinted windows.

People

Number of people, clothing, visible features, child position, and anything the suspect is carrying.

Time

Say the exact time, whether the sighting is live or already passed, and how long you observed it.

Safety

Do not follow too closely, confront anyone, stream publicly, or delay calling 911.

If a Child Is Missing

Practical steps for the first minutes. Always follow instructions from local law enforcement.

First 5 minutes
  • Call 911 if the child may be in danger.
  • Check immediate rooms, vehicles, water, and nearby hazards.
  • Keep the child's recent photo, clothing, and last location ready.
First 15 minutes
  • Contact nearby family, neighbors, school, or caregivers.
  • Preserve phones, devices, messages, camera footage, and rooms.
  • Use a voice note to capture exact times, places, vehicles, and possible witnesses if typing would slow you down.
First 60 minutes
  • Give law enforcement photos, identifiers, medicines, and risk factors.
  • Ask how tips should be reported and where volunteers should stage.
  • Share only confirmed information from law enforcement or official alerts.

For law enforcement

AMBER Alert Activation Notes

FDLE criteria require an abducted child under 18, an active-investigation belief that kidnapping occurred, imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury, broadcastable child/abductor/vehicle details, and recommendation from the law-enforcement agency of jurisdiction.

Only law enforcement agencies can request AMBER Alert activation. Families and the public should report a missing child to local police or the sheriff's office first, then contact MEPIC as directed.

What to do

Reporting Comes First

If a child is missing, contact your local law enforcement agency first. FDLE states that missing-person cases must be reported to law enforcement and entered into NCIC before MEPIC can open a case.
