Safer Ohio Tip Line

The  Safer Ohio School Tip Line is a free safety resource available to all Ohio schools. The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts both calls and texts 24 hours-a-day.

This tip line allows students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety — whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student.

Things to report to the tip line include (but are not limited to):

Bullying incidents;

Withdrawn student behaviors;

Verbal or written threats observed towards students, faculty or schools;

Hazing;

Weapons/suspicious devices on or near school grounds;

Gang related activities;

Unusual/suspicious behavior of students or staff;

Self-harm or suicidal sentiments; and

Any other school safety-related concerns.
