Of the tips received, 139 were duplicate reports, indicating an increased comfort with the tool as students return to school. According to the report, suicide threats (235) and drugs (114) continue to be the most common categories reported to the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are already seeing an uptick in reports as the new school year begins,\u201d said Attorney General Phil Weiser, whose office oversees the program. \u201cThis demonstrates not only that students are aware of Safe2Tell but also that they are increasingly comfortable using it to report concerns. The beginning of the school year is a welcome opportunity to reflect on past program successes and help educate students and communities on how to use the tool effectively and appropriately to make our schools safer and our students heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This September will mark Safe2Tell\u2019s 15th anniversary serving as Colorado\u2019s anonymous tip line for safety concerns. The program serves as a violence intervention and prevention program where students can anonymously report threats to their own and others\u2019 safety. Once a report is made, state law mandates that local law enforcement and school districts follow up on each tip to determine an appropriate response.<\/p>\n<p>To make a report, call 877-542-7233. Reports also can be made at Safe2Tell.org or through the Safe2Tell mobile app available in the iTunes Store and on Google Play.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/safe2tell-receives-record-number-of-tips-during-first-month-of-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August saw a record number of tips to the anonymous hotline.Courtesy Safe2Tell The Safe2Tell anonymous tip line received a record number of submissions in the first month of the 2019-20 school year, according to the Colorado Attorney General\u2019s Office.
