At this point, it appears all of the problems surrounding Amber Alerts have yet to be ironed out.
The one sent out on Tuesday, was late in getting out and the cancellation notice was also late getting to some people.
What matters most is the little girl at the center of the alert was found safe, but police aren't laying any charges against her father or mother.
We wanted to find out what needs to happen for an alert to be sent out.
It appears, it's more than simply pushing a button.
"If our investigators have a belief that the child is in danger, they begin to fill out the Amber Alert package." says Constable Andy Pattenden with York Regional Police.
That means collecting information on those involved, including descriptions of what they were wearing, photos and descriptions of the vehicle involved.
"And then from there, the information package goes up to our real-time operations centre, where someone with the rank of inspector or above, reviews all of that information." says Pattenden. "If they are in agreement that the child is in danger, it then gets put up to the OPP. They review it, and if their belief is consistent with ours, that is when an alert goes out."
He says that process takes time.
That being said, it's not like they are sitting on their hands waiting for the alert to be issued.
"That doesn't slow us down, there's investigations going on the whole time."
