Last night at our school counsel meeting, we decided that we have a low crime rate. However, we would like to see it lower or be able to solve these crimes. They are theft and vandalism. There is also mention of this “choking game” that is happening. We do not think that is happening at our school right now, but if we had a box or somewhere safe for kids to tip we can be a safer school.

We would like to implement this in the near future. The principal gave out surveys to the staff and the counsel regarding the school and wanted input on how we should go about this. I told him last night at the meeting that I have access to a bunch of wonderful people who live through out the United States and I am sure they know how to help out. Whether it be ideas, information about a program your school or a school you may know that is using this type of system. We do not want it to be run as a “snitch” program, but we want it to be an avenue for our students to be able to provide information regarding possible criminal activity in their school anonymously without fear or retaliation.

Any input or links to get information from would be so wonderful. I know there are many people here with wonderful ideas that will help out.

Thanks in advance

We really don't have anything implemented at my school. One of our county schools does have surveillance cameras in the hallways. It was a major controversy when they were first put in. The school in question had a few problems, and I guess the cameras were considered helpful. I'll have to find out if they work.

Skootz, You might want to talk to your local police department, ours has set up a special Crime Stoppers hotline just for school issues. The way I understand it works just like the regular Crime Stoppers except that it is for things that happen at school like thefts, drugs, etc. It has been pretty successful in getting information from students who didn't want to be seen talking with the SROs (School Resource Officers).
