Commemorates the fifth anniversary of the 2021 update to Tennessee's Silver Alert law, which enhanced collaboration between local law enforcement and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation

Over 500 Silver Alerts have been issued since the 2021 update, helping locate missing individuals with cognitive impairments

Approximately 120,000 Tennesseans currently have Alzheimer's disease or related dementias that may cause memory loss and wandering

The updated program incorporated enhanced media cooperation to increase public awareness when alerts are issued

Recognizes that the aging baby-boomer population will likely increase the number of Tennesseans affected by Alzheimer's disease, making the Silver Alert program increasingly important
