B.C. mom 'very happy' about new missing-person alert in the works

Alina Durham, a Chilliwack mother, welcomed progress on a missing-adult alert in B.C. After advocating for nearly four years following her daughter's 2021 disappearance.
Her efforts responded to the lack of a provincial alert system for vulnerable missing people, prompting the Ministry of Public Safety to discuss a Public Assistance Alert focused on those with cognitive or health concerns.
The planned Public Assistance Alert seeks to enhance how B.C. Handles cases of missing individuals, including vulnerable adults and children, with involvement from the RCMP’s specialized team managing missing persons in the province.
On May 12, the Policing and Security Branch informed Durham in a letter that the RCMP is currently engaged in developing the Public Assistance Alert system, describing this progress as a significant advancement while noting that considerable work still lies ahead.
Durham expressed that after persistent efforts, progress has been made with the alert system reaching the BC Police Missing Persons Centre, and while the new alert resembles a silver alert, she views it as a positive development.
