Say Something Anonymous Reporting System
 |
The Say Something Anonymous Reporting System is a partnership between Port Chester Schools and Sandy Hook Promise, a national organization dedicated to youth violence prevention. This program empowers students and adults to anonymously report safety concerns, enabling schools to identify and intervene with at-risk individuals before they harm themselves or others. By promoting early intervention, Say Something helps prevent violence, suicide, bullying, self-harm, and other threatening behaviors.
"With the Anonymous Reporting System, it’s easy and completely confidential to report safety concerns to help prevent violence and tragedies."

How does the Say Something ARS work?
“Tipsters” can send reports on 35 different concerns, from school threats they’ve seen or overheard, to personal crises including sexual harassment, self-harm, abuse, bullying, and depression.
The system includes a mobile app, website, and telephone hotline for users to submit tips 24/7/365 to the National Crisis Center for analysis and response.
When credible tips are received, the Crisis Center notifies the school-based representatives of those that are life-threatening and require immediate intervention. In cases of imminent threat, the Crisis Center contacts the local 9-1-1 dispatch. This enables school administrators and public safety officials work together to effectively prevent shootings, suicide, bullying, self-harm and other forms of violence and victimization.
