AlertID Origin According to Richard Perkins, former Chief of Police for Henderson, NV; AlertID is the single most important tool for public safety that Ive seen in my lifetime. In a post 9/11 world and with criminals becoming sophisticated, AlertID has already made us safe. So how did AlertID come about? One mothers scare resulted in the creation of this life saving, alert network. During the summer of 2009, AlertID founder and mother of three, Keli Wilson, inadvertently became separated from her three children for almost an hour. This real event prompted an idea that gave segue to AlertID, in attempts to help protect lost and missing children. Since inception, AlertID has done so much more than that. AlertID has been proven to help reduce crime, while also improving safety and security for children, families and entire communities across the country. **AlertID is the safe way to receive trusted public safety alerts and share information with neighbors.
