The State of Missouri, through
a grant from the Department of Public Safety, has established a statewide School
Violence Hotline to help school districts and law enforcement agencies
be aware of reports of school violence as early as possible and to ultimately
make schools safer.
The School Violence Hotline is staffed Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Calls are
accepted, information is gathered and entered into a centralized database.
The information is then communicated --by phone, fax or email-- to the
appropriate law enforcement agency and schools. It is then up to the law
enforcement agency and school district to decide how the case will be
handled.
The goal of the School
Violence Hotline is to become a centralized reporting and referral
mechanism to assist local schools and law enforcement agencies in
the identification of actual or potential acts of violence in our schools
and intervention to prevent or minimize those acts.
For more information, contact the School Violence Hotline at 1-866-748-7047.
