Like all of you, our hearts broke after the tragic event in Uvalde, Texas. There is nothing that will take away the fear parents/guardians might be feeling sending their children to school in the coming days, weeks, months, and possibly years.
But what we ask is that you share, with your students, neighbors, and communities, a tool that is available here in Oregon. Your Oregon State Police are the administrators of SafeOregon. SafeOregon is a school safety tip line that gives kids, parents, schools, and their communities a way to report safety threats or potential acts of violence. Together, we will empower people to speak out and spark change.
SafeOregon can be accessed using a web portal, mobile app, email, phone call, or text. All tips go immediately to a tip line technician 24x7x365. These tips are promptly analyzed and forwarded to designated personnel who can provide further assistance in resolving reported incidents.
The types of tips that come into the tip line are a threatening, criminal, or violent acts such as Bullying/Harassment; Cyberbullying; Suicidal Ideation; Possess, use, or distribution of drugs; Sexual Assault/Harassment; Threat to Safety; Child Abuse; Threat of Assault; Self-harm; Depression; Fighting; and Theft.
To learn more visit SafeOregon.com. There are approximately 1190 schools K-12 currently using SafeOregon. To learn if this program is utilized by your K-12 Oregon school, contact your school directly.
This is not a tip line to file complaints against the school or faculty. It is against the law to misuse SafeOregon.
