\n On October 9, 2009 Sen. Schumer announced that he is pushing legislation to create a nationwide network for locating missing adults and senior citizens with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other mental impairments. The Silver Alert Act would create a program, modeled after the AMBER Alert, which would provide federal coordination and assistance through the Department of Justice to local and state law enforcement to assist efforts to locate missing senior citizens throughout Rockland County and across the country. Schumer said today that a nationwide alert network is critical because missing adults can cross state and county lines.Sen. Schumer was joined by Nicole Doliner and Rockland County Legislator Bob Jackson who have both been working to pass the Silver Alert program in Rockland County.
