How California Silver Alerts Are Decided
According to the California Highway Patrol, a Silver Alert is for an eligible missing person who has been determined to be at risk. Activation also depends on other listed criteria, including whether public information could help with a safe recovery. LASD policy assigns the final decision to initiate an alert to the Sheriff's Communications Center Watch Commander; the policy does not establish why an alert was or was not issued in this case.
How to Submit an Anonymous Tip
For residents who would rather not give their name, the sheriff's department is also directing tips to Crime Stoppers. Anonymous information can be phoned in at 800-222-TIPS (8477), submitted through the P3 Tips mobile app on Google Play or the Apple App Store, or sent through the Crime Stoppers website.
