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 E-mail-- 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.
