A Gold Alert is a program used to aid in the identification and location of a missing person who is a senior citizen, suicidal person, person with a disability, or a missing child. The program is implemented by investigating law-enforcement agencies and may be local, regional, or statewide. The initial decision to issue a local Gold Alert is at the discretion of the investigating law-enforcement agency. The alert must include all appropriate information that may assist in the safe return of the missing person along with a statement instructing anyone with information relating to the missing person to contact the investigating law-enforcement agency or a law-enforcement agency within their jurisdiction. When a Gold Alert has been canceled, the investigating law-enforcement agency shall notify the designated media outlets. Gold Alerts are specific to Delaware and are part of the states color-coded alert system.
