Facebook Helps New Amber Alert Program

More than 14-thousand people in the province have signed up to get online alerts when a child is abducted.

This after the Amber Alert Program was launched late last month with the help of the social networking site Facebook.

Amber Alert coordinator, Corporal Todd Chadwick of the Miramichi police, says he's pleased with the response.

Chadwick says while the Amber Alert program in New Brunswick has yet to be used, the chance of finding an abducted child increases with each person who joins the Facebook group.
