The Silver Alert system’s purpose is to locate an individual identified as a disabled adult, or vulnerable elderly adult, or a minor who has a developmental disability and has been reported to law enforcement authorities as missing. 

These public broadcasts solicit public action to locate the individual, enabling safe and swift recovery of the individual by law enforcement officers.

The definition and activation criteria are defined in Chapter 54 of the ND Century Code.
