And it is getting more difficult to determine whether the students who are making threats are serious. We don't want to take chances, so all threats must be taken seriously. First, you should contact school administrators to report the threat and let your local law enforcement officials know you reported a threat of violence to the school. You also may want to contact the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers' toll-free hotline with information about the threat. Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers is a statewide service run by volunteers who represent a cross-section of Commonwealth communities.
All information is kept confidential and callers remain anonymous.
And any details provided by a caller would be forwarded to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Reporting these incidents is a practical approach to reach out to the young people who need our help and to stop violence before it occurs. I applaud you for taking the initiative. I think I was billed for a service I did not receive. I called the HMO, but they said I received the service.
