CLEAR ALERT

---

In order to issue a CLEAR alert, the following criteria must be met, according to DPS: 

• The person who is missing is between the ages of 18 and 64 
• A preliminary investigation verified that the adult is in imminent danger of bodily injury or death OR the adult’s disappearance is involuntary, such as an abduction or kidnapping
• The request must come within 72 hours of the adult’s disappearance
• Sufficient information is available to disseminate to the public to help locate the adult, a suspect or vehicle used in the incident 

Once a law enforcement agency determines that a case satisfies the criteria, a request must be made to DPS.
