That’s just the link the local cops pasted into the alert form. They can put in a link to hampsterdance.com if they wanted to.
My point is that they should have a dedicated public service website that they use for these sorts of things.
Your state or county is probably using what was identified as an easy and accessible solution several years ago. It was probably selected because it was something any yahoo could easily access and post to.
Now that there are a lot of cheap and easy FOSS alternatives, it probably wouldn’t be too hard to petition for a ballot initiative that required these alerts to be published on a state masto instance or something.
