Phoenix Police are asking for help locating an individual in a public alert.
AMBER Alert criteria
Arizona Department of Public Safety guidance says an AMBER Alert requires all five activation criteria, including an abduction and a credible threat of imminent danger.
The FBI’s national NCIC statistics offer broader context: as of Dec. 31, 2025, 21,487 of the 88,093 active missing-person records were for juveniles under 18. That is a national snapshot of active records, not an annual count and not a figure specific to Phoenix or Arizona.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s model law-enforcement policy is for missing-child cases.
How to share information
Anyone who has seen this individual or has information about their whereabouts is asked to call Phoenix Police at 602-262-6151 rather than send a tip through social media, according to the department’s alert.
