The Texas Horsemen's Partnership (THP) recognizes the significance of the AMBER Alert Plan (America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response) and how important it is to our Texas horsemen and women's children. On Saturday, September 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the THP, along with the City of Selma Police Department, will be conducting an AMBER Alert sign up program at Retama Park. All horsemen and women's children are encouraged to come and participate. We encourage all parents to plan on bringing their children for the sign up.

The sign up is free to those who participate. A Child Identification Kit will be completed on each child, which contains crucial and vital information on each child, plus the child’s fingerprints and a DNA hair sample. The parents will be given the completed kit on each of their children for safe keeping in the event their child is ever missing.

Every year, there are over 800,000 missing children nationwide. With these types of statistics, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) launched the AMBER Plan, or America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response, nationwide. The goal of the AMBER Plan is to assist cities and towns across the United States with creating their own emergency alert plan.
