Which of the following is NOT a TN alert type?

• A. Silver
• B. Amber
• C. Endangered Child
• D. Platinum

Answer: (D)

TN alert types are rapid-dispatch programs used to quickly share critical information about vulnerable people. Amber Alert is the system used when a child is missing or abducted, triggering widespread notices to help locate the child quickly. Silver Alert serves cases where a missing person is an older adult or has cognitive impairment, again using broad dissemination to aid the search. Endangered Child Alert covers missing children who are considered to be in danger but may not fit the exact abducted scenario of an Amber Alert, allowing authorities to mobilize faster follow-up and public awareness. Platinum, however, is not part of Tennessee’s official alert framework, so it isn’t used as an alert type in the state.
