The STOP tip line is a free, anonymous tip submission system that can be used by schools to provide students, staff, parents and community members with a way to report bullying behavior, threats and harm, school threats and other types of information online. or over the phone.
Tips are received immediately by designated individuals from the school or district and the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security. All schools throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky are encouraged to take advantage of this free safety tool.
It is also important that educators and school and district leaders encourage their students to use the tip line and ensure that students, parents, staff and community members are aware that the tip line is available. Please make sure your school is promoting STOP so everyone is aware it exists and can use the tip line.
Reporting concerns can help students when needed and prevent acts of violence from occurring. For more information on the STOP tip line, visit the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security website or the Kentucky Center for School Safety website.
