Mattie's Call is an American law-enforcement-initiated public notification system to locate missing elderly, or otherwise disabled persons.
[1] In 2004, radio stations and local law-enforcement agencies in the Atlanta, Georgia, area broadcast information about the elderly Mattie Moore missing from her home.
Mattie's Call was patterned after the AMBER Alert system created to locate missing, or abducted children.
It uses public-service announcements on radio stations, displays on publicly controlled signaling devices and transmissions to law-enforcement agencies in an attempt to locate the missing endangered person.
[4] Mattie's Call is an example of a Silver Alert system to locate missing senior citizens.
