New Mexico’s Silver Alert is a statewide notification for an endangered person who is confirmed missing. It is similar to an Amber Alert and generally applies to a missing person who is 50 or older and shows clear signs of an irreversible deterioration of intellectual faculties. The Department of Public Safety’s missing-person clearinghouse gathers the details, posts them to the public website and sends them to media outlets.
In 2025, New Mexico State Police began sending Silver and Turquoise Alert messages directly to cell phones statewide. Those alerts can include the missing person’s description, last known location and vehicle information. In Valencia County, residents in Los Lunas, Belen and surrounding communities can receive the notice without waiting for broadcast coverage.
Valencia County has appeared repeatedly in the DPS alert archive, including another Silver Alert posted May 15, 2026, for the Valencia County Sheriff's Office.
