The Oregon State Police
launched SafeOregon, a school
safety tip line program avail-
able to all public K-12 schools
in Oregon, on January 31,
2017. SafeOregon is a way for
students, staff or other mem-
bers of the public to confi den-
tially report and share confi -
dential information of a risk
or a potential risk to student
safety. SafeOregon requires
schools to complete a sign-up
process in order for students to
use it. Since SafeOregon was
launched, 260 schools have
enrolled and are using the tip
line. That reaches approximate-
ly 110,000 Oregon students.
SafeOregon gives students a
way to reach out for help.
SafeOregon -- the school
safety tip line -- became Law
through HB 4075 (2016), as
a result of recommendations
from the Oregon Task Force
on School Safety charged with
improving safety and security
at schools across the state.
The task force was established
by House Bill 4087, bringing
together representatives from
police, fi re, school administra-
tion, teachers, school boards
and service districts, along with
the Governor's education and
public safety policy advisors,
legislators, the Oregon De-
partment of Education and the
Association of Oregon Com-
munity Mental Health Pro-
grams. The task force is chaired
by Clackamas County Sheriff
Craig Roberts and Dr. David
Novotney, Willamette Educa-
tion Service District.
SafeOregon is designed to
encourage Oregon students to
share and respond to anything
that threatens their safety or the
safety of others, anything that
makes a student feel unsafe or
if a student knows someone
who feels unsafe.
From a Principal of one
School using SafeOregon
today:
"In the two weeks [...] since
our launch of SafeOregon we
received 20 reports, 18 have
been legitimate including
bullying [...], suicidal feelings,
sexual harassment, and drug
use. Action taken has ranged
from consultation with law
enforcement, suspensions, or
counseling the student or group
of students.
In one particular instance, a
student reported a girl posting
suicidal thoughts on social me-
dia. SafeOregon called school
administration, and the police
were involved. The girl was
taken to the hospital for evalua-
tion, potentially saving her life.
Another student reported her
friend was being bullied. [...]
The victim came up to me later,
gave me a hug and thanked me
for protecting and supporting
him.
Tips from Students:
"They are fi ghting and I don't
know what to do because they
are both my friend and I don't
want them to hate me because
I don't wanna choose sides and
I don't want them to get mad
because I'm trying to fi x things
but idk."
Result: Their teacher talked
to the students that were fi ght-
ing and the tipsters identity was
kept confi dential. The tipster
was acknowledged by the
teacher later, without exposing
his identity, for doing the right
thing by reporting.
"She was talking to me in the
hallway and I notice that she
has cuts on her wrist and I have
seen it before, she says she's
depressed and she says she sad
all the time"
Result: Student assessed by
the school counselor. The stu-
dent was not someone that was
on the school's radar as having
these struggles, so they were
grateful for the tip.
For more information please
visit www.safeoregon.com. The
resource page has more infor-
mation for students, parents and
for schools to sign-up. Students
and parents are encouraged to
talk to their school administra-
tion about making SafeOregon
available in their school.
Additionally: It is a violation
of ORS165.570 to improperly
use the SafeOregon system.
