Safer Ohio Tip Line

844-SaferOH (844-723-3764)

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Withdrawn student behaviors;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 toward students, faculty or schools;

Weapon/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.

Every tip can remain anonymous. School safety analysts may ask for additional information, but the caller can remain secret or leave his or her contact information for later follow-up.

Ohio School Safety Center's Safer Ohio Tip Line: 844.723.3764 for reporting student safety concerns.
