The Associated Press reports that the criteria for issuing "Amber Alerts" varies widely from state to state. Some states don't even track past Alerts they've issued.
Amber Alerts are media broadcasts for missing and/or possibly kidnapped or abducted people- generally children.
This nationwide system began as a grass-roots project in Arlington-TX after a child- Amber Hagerman- was kidnapped and murdered in 1996.
