MANDEVILLE, LA--(Marketwire - January 13, 2009) - Code Amber ([ www.codeamber.org ]) today announced its transition to the Code Amber News Service (CANS). The company will utilize the vast resources of GTX Corp (OTCBB: [ GTXO ]) ([ www.gtxcorp.com ]) which acquired Code Amber in December of 2008 to broaden the reach and content of missing person notifications. The Code Amber News Service Ticker is viewed globally over 500,000 times a day through consumer Web sites, direct feeds, law enforcement agencies, and a host of other outlets.

"Our goal is to disseminate timely information to anyone who might be able to assist law enforcement in finding a missing person before harm comes to them. The need is great, and now achievable," said Bryant Harper, Founder and President of Code Amber. "GTX Corp affords us this opportunity. It is appropriate that today, National Amber Alert Awareness Day, we applaud the great success of Amber Alerts with its mission to increase awareness."

"We receive inquiries on a weekly basis from law enforcement agencies, parents, and media asking why a missing child is not in our Code Amber Ticker," said Linda Spagnoli, Communications Director and Co-Founder of Code Amber. "Today I'm pleased to announce that we now offer those services. We treat each case separately and with the guidance of law enforcement we can post these cases where public exposure will help locate a missing person."

The Lake County Sheriff's office is one of hundreds of law enforcement agencies that display the Code Amber News Alert Ticker on their web site. "When trying to locate and safely recover a missing child or elderly person, timely notification to the public is of paramount importance. We must take advantage of all available resources and technologies that can help us accomplish this. Every second counts," says Lake County (FL) Sheriff Gary Borders. ([ www.lcso.org ]).

The CANS service empowers law enforcement agencies who feel that even though the case does not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert, there is a real possibility that the public can help locate the missing person.
