What Is A Clear Alert?

CLEAR is an acronym for Coordinated Law Enforcement Adult Rescue. It was created by 2019 Texas legislation and is designed to close the gap between missing children and senior citizens. The CLEAR Alert assists law enforcement in locating and rescuing missing, kidnapped, or abducted adults or adults who are in immediate danger of injury or death, as well as aiding in locating any potential suspects. The name of the CLEAR Alert also, in part, honors victims of violence that led to the CLEAR Alert legislation: Cayley Mandadi; D'Lisa Kelley; Erin Castro; Ashanti Billie and the Rest.
