The Purple Alert community is made up of other people in a similar condition of living with dementia or caring for someone who has the disease. If other people in the community nearby sees the person they can call the the carer directly. The previously stored information will then be sent out to people within a 30-mile radius of the alert. If the carer cannot find the person, they only need to tap the app to let the community know someone is missing. The information only remains live on the app until the person is found, then the status will be changed to found and the information removed. If enacted, Wisconsin would be the first state to have a domestic violence alert system.After downloading the app, the carer needs to input the person’s details into the profile, however, nobody will ever see this content until an alert is issued. The Purple Alert would reduce the amount of time that must pass before a missing person's report can be completed. With incidents of domestic violence on the rise during the Coronavirus pandemic, this alert system is needed now more than ever."Ī Purple Alert would be similar to an AMBER Alert for children or a Silver Alert for seniors. "Speeding up this process will save lives. With every hour that passes, a missing person becomes more vulnerable, so reducing the amount of time a loved one must wait to file a report is essential to the health and safety of someone who may be in harm's way," said Milwaukee County Supervisor Sequanna Taylor in a previous statement. "A Purple Alert system would save lives and by making it easier to quickly locate victims of domestic violence. The consideration comes a day after an hours-long tactical situation took place early Monday morning near 78th and Calumet. The resolution was up for consideration at Tuesday's meeting. The alert would include locating people who may be missing, injured, or vulnerable. The Milwaukee Common Council is considering a resolution that would create a "Purple Alert." A Purple Alert would expedite the process of filing a missing person's report for victims of domestic violence.
