SALT LAKE CITYÂ (AP)Â - The Utah Department of Public Safety announced Sunday that it will stop texting Amber Alerts to cellphones after an alert was sent that did not have the required information.

The department says it will continue to issue Amber Alerts through direct messages to law enforcement, news media, social media and to the https://alert.utah.gov/ website.
