Despite being the eyes and ears of your schools, students might be hesitant to report incidents or “snitch” on their classmates. In 81% of violent incidents at U.S. schools, at least one person had information that the attacker was thinking about or planning the school attack and failed to report it.

Students, who may not feel comfortable talking directly to an adult or don’t want anyone to know they submitted the tip, can anonymously send a text message to school administrators. Key personnel can respond to any texts submitted in real time to collect additional information and details. Each report is logged for future viewing, as well as reviewing trends and incident patterns over time.

Anonymous tip technology increases engagement from students and prevents them from withholding timely, critical information that will keep your school safe from threats, such as an active shooter, bullying and drugs.
