Within the Silver Alert workflow, what does S8 refer to?

• A. S8 must be entered in FCIC/Statewide bolo issued
• B. Activation must be approved by supervisor
• C. Local LEO contacts media
• D. Vehicle information is optional

Answer: (A)

S8 is the data entry that records the Silver Alert in the FCIC/Statewide BOLO system. This step officially logs the alert and makes it accessible to law enforcement statewide through the Be On the Lookout network, enabling rapid dissemination and coordinated response. The other options describe different actions in the workflow—supervisor approval, media outreach, or treating vehicle details as optional—but they are not the specific S8 data entry, which is the BOLO issuance in FCIC/Statewide.
