Summary
Creates the Blue Alert System Act. Establishes a statewide alert system known as "Blue Alert" which shall be developed and implemented by the Director of State Police. Provides that the "Blue Alert" system may be activated when a suspect for a crime involving the death or serious injury of a peace officer has not been apprehended and law enforcement personnel have determined that the suspect may be a serious threat to the public and also when a peace officer becomes missing while in the line of duty under circumstances warranting concern for the peace officer's safety. Provides that the Director shall terminate any activation of the "Blue Alert" system with respect to a particular incident if: (1) the suspect or peace officer is located or the incident is otherwise resolved; or (2) the Director determines that the "Blue Alert" system is no longer an effective tool for locating the suspect or peace officer.
