Which trio elements are required for TN Amber Alert activation?

• A. Under 18; in imminent danger; description of child/suspect/vehicle
• B. Under 18; in imminent danger; no description
• C. Under 21; in imminent danger; description
• D. Under 18; not in danger; description

Answer: (A)

Amber Alert activation relies on three specific elements. The child must be under 18, there must be imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death, and there must be descriptive information about the child, suspect, or vehicle that can help the public locate them. The option that includes all three—under 18, imminent danger, and a description of the child, suspect, or vehicle—best fits these criteria. The other possibilities fail because omitting the description prevents the broadcast from being actionable, including an age outside the under-18 range contradicts Amber Alert criteria, or stating there is no danger contradicts the required imminent danger condition.
