Students Speaking Up

Speak Up for a Positive School

School is a place where students learn, grow, and thrive.Students Speaking Out is committed to helping students make their schools a positive environment so that they can reach their goals.

 

Students can make a difference
Students play a critical role in school safety. Many times, students know more about what is happening on campus than teachers, administrators, or parents.

Students Speaking Up provides students with a way to anonymously report crime and dangerous activities taking place in Bay Area schools. Students can contact Students Speaking Up by phone, text, or web tip. We will pass that information on to authorities directly.

 

Supporting Our Schools
We are proud of our schools and want to see local young people achieve their dreams. By using your voice to make your school and community safer, you can make a difference.

 

Unfortunately, drugs, weapons, violence, and bullying are present at all schools. Speak up and make your school safer.

Students who step forward with anonymous tips leading to arrests will be eligible for cash awards through the program, based on an internally recognized model.

School and police officials agree that most students want to do the right thing to keep their schools and neighborhoods safe but sometimes fear reprisals. The Student Crime Stoppers Program offers the safety of complete anonymity while promoting responsibility and allowing students to take action against victimization and crime.

When to Call

• Maybe you overhear someone bragging about having committed a crime.
• Maybe you or someone you know is being bullied.
  
• Maybe you know someone who is driving a stolen car...or is hiding from the police...or is a robber or drug dealer.
• Or maybe you just see something that doesn't look right. A strange car. A person acting sneaky. Someone with a gun or knife.

If you aren't sure that what you saw or heard is really a crime, call anyway. Let the police decide if it's worth investigating. It may be a piece of a clue to a big crime.
