Indiana Green Alert for Missing Veterans at Risk

When a veteran or service member with a service-related physical or mental health condition goes missing, police treat it as a high risk missing person case and can broadcast a Green Alert through the state clearinghouse.

Also called: IC 10-13-5, IC 12-10-18, green alert, veteran at risk, missing veteran, high risk missing person.

For: Veteran or service member.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Since 2024, IC 10-13-5-3.5 has run a green alert program under which the state clearinghouse for missing persons sends information about "missing veterans at risk" to participating broadcasters for immediate and repeated broadcast. Who is covered. IC 12-7-2.1-346: a "veteran at risk" is a veteran or active duty member of the armed forces, National Guard or reserves "known, based on information provided by a person making a report", to have a physical or mental health condition related to military service. A missing veteran at risk is a high risk missing person (IC 12-10-18-0.5), so the police must follow the procedures in IC 5-2-17 and may forward the report to other agencies, broadcasters and the clearinghouse for a Green Alert (IC 12-10-18-3). What to do. Call the police, say the person is a veteran at risk, and describe the service-related condition. There is no discharge test.
