Quebec is about to launch a one-year test of a new cellphone alert system that will notify residents when someone "living with a major neurocognitive disorder or showing symptoms of one" goes missing. The pilot project, called Alerte SILVER, will run in only three MRCs.
On Friday, September 2, Quebec's Minister of Public Security sent out a provincewide alert regarding an "armed and dangerous suspect," located in the town of Saint-Elzéar-de-Bonaventure roughly nine hours away from Montreal. So, why did we receive the alert to begin with? The SQ is now investigating just that.
Authorities set off a Quebec amber alert at about 2:58 a.m. on Wednesday, May 25, after an alleged kidnapping of a three-year-old in Sainte-Adèle in the Laurentides region. The alert stated that a 21-year-old suspect was believed to have "fled on foot" with the child at 9:00 p.m. on May 24.Police lifted the amber alert about 25 minutes after it went out. According to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), the suspect and three-year-old were found "safe and sound" in the same town where they disappeared.
