Students can now log on and report incidents anonymously.
News 10 has more on how the system works. We are going to be using their software as another device to allow our student population to alert us if they hear any issues that cause them to be concerned about their safety, said Assistant Superintendent Joseph Bender. Telephone tip lines are not uncommon for schools concerned about crime, with Scholastic Crimestoppers in operation since 1983 and now in 2,000 schools. Locally, schools from Springfield, Delaware County to Bensalem, Bucks County use phone-tip operations. We thought that with the Internet as pervasive as it is with students, and as natural, that this would be a great way for them to communicate, said Long Island, N. Y. radio host Anthony Lavalle, who founded the company.
