Senate Joint Resolution 570, sponsored by Massey, commemorates the fifth anniversary of the updated Tennessee Silver Alert law, which was revised in 2021 to enhance collaboration between local law enforcement, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the media. Since its update, the Silver Alert program has successfully issued over 500 alerts, demonstrating its effectiveness in helping to locate individuals, particularly those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, who may wander due to cognitive impairments.

The resolution highlights the importance of the Silver Alert program in saving lives, especially as the senior population in Tennessee continues to grow, with an estimated 120,000 residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It acknowledges the ongoing commitment of the program to ensure that more individuals are safely returned to their families. The resolution calls for recognition of this significant milestone and the achievements of the Silver Alert program in the state.
