Silver Alert
Florida’s Silver Alert* is a plan to help local police in
locating someone who has a cognitive impairment,
such as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia and has
become lost while driving a car or lost while on foot.
Through the use of dynamic message signs along
Florida roadways, Silver Alerts are broadcast to the
public with vehicle information.
To report a cognitively impaired missing person, please
call your local law enforcement immediately. If you
have information on an active Silver Alert, do not
approach the vehicle, but immediately contact the
Florida Highway Patrol by dialing *(star) 347.
