This contact person will be the person to whom tips are immediately forwarded. Normally the contact person is a principal or designee. A back-up person is also provided in case the primary contact is unavailable.
Time is of the essence.
The school agrees to promote the program through the use of a short video explaining the program to all students and staff. The school will prominently display posters reminding students of the intent of the program and the tipline phone number. The school will endorse and advocate the students' use of School Crime Stoppers as an effective and safe way to report information. Students are instructed as to where they can find safe phones that can be used to call Crime Stoppers.
