An Act relative to implementing a blue alert system in the Commonwealth

This bill establishes a statewide blue alert system in Massachusetts to be used when law enforcement is searching for a suspect wanted for the serious injury or death of a police officer, state trooper, or other law enforcement official. The executive office of public safety is tasked with coordinating the implementation of this system, which will involve developing protocols for activating alerts across the Commonwealth. The legislation defines the specific terms used in the new system and designates law enforcement agencies investigating crimes against officers as the entities responsible for triggering the alert.
