Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, State Superintendent Dr. Michael F. Rice, and Michigan State Police Director Col. James F. Grady II are all reminding parents and students that Michigan’s student safety program, OK2SAY, is a valuable resource to help keep students safe.
AG Nessel says in a news release, “OK2SAY gives Michiganders a safe and confidential way to share concerns about their safety and the safety of others” adding, “These tips not only help law enforcement identify and respond to potential dangers and help those in need, but they also ensure that real threats of violence are taken seriously and those responsible are held accountable.”
Some of the top tip categories last year included bullying, suicide threats and sexual assault among others.
OK2SAY allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, or schools in this state. Since its launch in 2014, OK2SAY has received more than 60,000 tips.
Officials says if you receive a threat or know of a threat of violence against your community, please contact your local law enforcement or call 9-1-1. Non-emergency tips can be submitted by calling 855-565-2729 or 8-55-OK2say.
