SCHOOL RESOURCES
Schools assign a primary SafeOregon point of contact with backup staff as needed. All POCs receive dashboard access, training, and toolkits with best practices, posters, and marketing materials to help manage and follow up on tips.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will the process work?
When a tip is submitted, a trained technician reviews it and sends it to the school POC by email or phone, depending on urgency. The technician may also contact local law enforcement in a critical situation or at the POC’s request.
Does this change the way Schools handle safety or follow-up on safety related incidents?
Not at all. SafeOregon is an information sharing tool and an early warning system, not a determination of fact. All reports from SafeOregon should be investigated and handled per established policies and procedures like anything else.
School Responder roles and responsibilities for SafeOregon
- Information from the tip line is sent directly to the school’s designated POCs. They are responsible for:
- Deciding how to act on the information and coordinating with law enforcement when needed.
- Keeping tip details and the tipster’s identity confidential, sharing only with those who need to know.
- Updating the tip status in the SafeOregon database within 24 business hours.
- To support a strong culture of safety, POCs are encouraged to:
- Keep SafeOregon marketing materials visible in the school.
- Educate students and staff about SafeOregon and how to report concerns.
- Look for additional ways to promote SafeOregon in the school community.
Expectations after receiving a report from SafeOregon:
SafeOregon technicians contact primary or secondary POCs by phone or email through the dashboard. POCs begin resolving the tip and update the dashboard within 24 hours.
