Belize Launches Jasmine Alert | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

There is a new early alert for kidnapping victims in Belize.  The Jasmine Alert, which can quickly mobilize everyone with a phone to help look for any abducted child.  Great news!

 

"If a child is kidnapped anywhere in the country and somebody sees it and calls 911 - the police will get notified.  They will immediately call the national coordinator who is Inspector Ms. Augustine who will decide if the report meets the criteria of a Jasmine Alert.  If it does, she will immediately advise both telecommunications companies (SMART & BTL) and the media that there was an abduction.  Ms. Augustine will send out a text type material that will be put out by both SMART and BTL.  The media starts to broadcast that across the nation so that everyone can be looking for the vehicle or the individual that performed the crime."
