“Amber Alert GPS lets you track your child's
whereabouts and receive emails and texts if an alert

“It even notifies you if your child comes within 500
feet of a registered sex offender’s residence and
gives your child the ability to use an SOS button if
they need immediate help.”

Increased awareness
and vigilance is our

It is a choice to stand up for
privacy and safety.
This is not a choice between
privacy or safety.
