HONOLULU (KHON2) -- Governor Josh Green signed Senate Bill 2305 into law on Tuesday, establishing a Silver Alert Program within the Department of Law Enforcement.
SB 2305 carries out a Silver Alert that helps elderly, developmentally, or cognitively disabled persons who go missing or are at-risk.
“Establishing a Silver Alert Program will provide many benefits to our community and especially for our kūpuna who go missing,” said Senator Brandon J.C. Elefante. “I’d like to thank Governor Green as well as the community for all their hard work and support to get this important measure passed into law.”
More than half of the states nationwide have established Silver Alert Programs to help missing individuals.
