Intiative2Tell™
Safe2Tell™ prides itself on being a multi-faceted program rather than a one-way reporting system or one-dimensional program. In fact, Safe2Tell™ has grown into a four-fold intitiative that involves teachers, administrators, parents, students, volunteers, and law enforcement through the following mechanisms.
Outreach: This allows schools, teen centers, youth groups, and others to request presentations. Experts in law enforcement and school safety provide an interactive program that not only informs, but engages those in the audience.
Communications: Spreading the word about the tipline’s availability is the key to its success. In addition to outreach and presentations, growing initiatives that include: a re-vamped website, a quarterly newsletter, multiple radio and television interviews, and a myriad of novelty items. These are helping share the success of Safe2Tell™ and its key role in the prevention of school violence and related activity. Additionally, novelty items such as ID lanyards, glow in the dark bracelets, and posters are available as handouts. A new public service announcement is under production as well.
Training: Safe2Tell™ would not be successful were it not for the intensive, one-of-a-kind training provided by nationally recognized law enforcement educators. Key to the program is the training of state patrol personnel to answer the tipline 24/7. Further training is also provided to teachers, principals, and other school administrators as it relates to tipline response and management.
Public Affairs and Advocacy: The newest intitative of Safe2Tell™ involves making intervention tools like the call center and the tipline as much higher local, State, and Federal priority. In addition to ensuring government funds for the program, the public affairs initiative impacts legislative reform that can enhance the productivity, efficiency, and impact of such a program. Concurrently, advocacy will build a grassroots awareness of Safe2Tell™ and knock down the barriers to its growth and replication nationally.
