Mcleod MP Ted Menzies is impressed with Saskatchewan's first amber alert.

 

He credits the quick arrest of convicted sex-offender Peter Whitmore to the warning.

"This amber alert system that we are just starting to use in Canada now, actually worked and I think that's going to bring not total piece of mind but certainly some comfort to parents."

Whitmore faced charges of sexual assault and abduction yesterday in a Regina court . 

His next court appearance is August 10th.
