A mural intended to depict the grief and violence Indigenous women face. Indigenous leaders and others are hopeful the state’s newly installed Turquoise Alert system will help.
An alert system established to issue statewide alerts for missing Indigenous or endangered persons is now officially online, offering a vital tool to assist law enforcement agencies in addressing an ongoing crisis within the state.
The Turquoise Alert System is for anyone under 65 who doesn’t qualify for an Amber or Silver Alert. An Amber Alert is issued when a minor is abducted, while a Silver Alert is for individuals over 65 or with a cognitive or developmental disability who go missing.
