One of the four corner states has volunteered to issue Amber Alerts for the Navajo Nation.
In the event an abduction of a child on the Navajo Nation, the state of New Mexico would notify both Arizona and Utah if the nation issues an Amber Alert.
The Navajo Nation Alert System Task Force is in the process of developing and implementing its own emergency alert system. But until then, New Mexico will coordinate information getting to law enforcement agencies within the three states.
The task force was established in May when residents raised concerns about the Amber Alert system following the May disappearance of an 11year old girl and her 9 year old brother. The girl was found dead the next day. The boy returned to his family.
