Facebook ‘alerts’ to users to help locate abducted children

In 2012, the gardaí launched the CRI (Child Rescue Ireland) alert system to notify the public when there is a suspected child abduction. So far it has been rolled out on digital roadside signs and through traditional media.

Now as a result of a new partnership with the social media platform, these alerts will be posted on the newsfeeds of Facebook users.
