Subchapter VIII. Blue Alert Program for Apprehension of Persons Suspected of Killing or Injuring Law-Enforcement Officers
§ 8585. Establishment of the Delaware Blue Alert Program.
Each investigating law-enforcement agency shall implement an alert program, consistent with the ACIM Alert Program and the Gold Alert Program, for the apprehension of persons suspected of killing or seriously injuring law-enforcement officers, and may promulgate necessary rules and regulations for implementing the program. The rules and regulations shall include the following:
(1) Procedures for the use of the Delaware Information Analysis Center to provide support to the investigating law-enforcement agency as a resource for the receipt, analysis, and dissemination of information regarding the suspect and the suspect's whereabouts and/or method of escape;
(2) The process for reporting the information to designated media outlets in Delaware; and
(3) Procedures for the investigating law-enforcement agency to determine quickly whether an officer has been “seriously injured or killed” and a Blue Alert therefore needs to be activated.
