The Louisiana Special School District is pleased to announce the implementation of the Safe Schools Anonymous Reporting App. The Governor's Office and Louisiana State Police have partnered with Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans to offer the Safe Schools Louisiana App to all middle and high schools throughout the state. The Safe Schools Louisiana Anonymous Reporting App, is a free resource for our school community, providing students the ability to communicate, anonymously, about a pressing school, criminal, or mental health concern or issue.
Tips are monitored and received via the Safe Schools Louisiana App or via the website, www.safeschoolsla.com, and once vetted, the proper representatives are notified for engagement. When there is an emergency, our Safe School team will be contacted for immediate response and intervention. The web based platform called P3 Campus is used in over 20,000 schools and by over 10 million students across the United States.
How It Works:
• Submit an anonymous tip 24/7 through the website or the Safe Schools Louisiana Mobile App (links above)
• Receive a Report ID and Password if you would like to follow-up on your report
• The Crimestoppers Call center reviews, assesses and processes all submissions
• The Crimestoppers Call center sends all submissions to law enforcement and/or school administration for intervention
• If needed, the Crimestoppers Call center may contact you anonymously through the app or by case number follow-up
• The Crimestoppers Call center posts status of submission with case number as case progresses and closes
• If this is an emergency, please immediately call 911!
