How Does Courage2Report Work?
Courage2Report calls and tips are answered 24 hours a day by staff who are trained in school safety. Reports are sent to the appropriate school and law enforcement agency for investigation and follow-up. Information from C2R allows authorities to proactively manage potential risks and increase the safety of our schools.
How Do I Submit a Tip?
Why Reporting Matters
Missouri's School Violence Prevention Hotline. According to the U.S. Secret Service, in 81% of the instances where a violent act occurs on school property, at least one student had prior knowledge of the event, but failed to report it. Students must learn the importance of taking every threat seriously. C2R helps students do this in a way that keeps them safe. It is also crucial that schools, parents, law enforcement, and community members know the importance of reporting concerns and how to confidentially report to C2R.
