A Blue Alert is a public bulletin that informs the media, law enforcement, and the public about the search for a person who is suspected of harming or killing a law enforcement officer.

Sounds pointless even then not a false alarm. Just use a regular shelter-in-place alert or whatever. No need to also specify cops are in harm’s way. That should be obvious.

Or maybe I’m wrong. What if we had colors for all occupations that frequently get shot?

Gold for teachers

Silver for military

White for postal worker

Green for retail sales workers

Yellow for taxi drivers

Brown for waiters

You forgot a category for school kids. You did say "frequently" ...

Damnit, that’s the whole reason I added the comment.

Pink for girl students

Blue for boy students

(I’m assuming the color-coding people only believe in two genders.)
